The entry fee is $15 per individual entry and $40 per relay entry. There are no limits in how many you would like to enter.
A reminder to coaches: This is an ENTRY fee and not a competition fee. The fee is due at the time of registration closing
The invitational events (when offered) are (estimated) the top 15 entries (except when noted otherwise) in any given event. These athletes, once verified by meet management, are automatically moved to the invitational division.
For example: If you want to enter the invitational mile, you would enter the 1600 and if your athlete makes the cutoff they will be automatically moved.
Meet management will release the invitational performance lists on Monday, January 12th.
Please read over this information carefully prior to emailing questions
