Meet Information

Region 5-AAA Region Track Meet Information

Coaches:

Woodward Academy will be hosting both the Girls Region Meets this year. Here is a schedule of events for the meet. This year, we are asking that you submit your entries online using http://ga.milesplit.us/ ; the girls meet is http://ga.milesplit.com/meets/81967.

This format for meet entry is one that I think many of us have used. I have included a link to instructions for the three steps involved (You may complete steps 1 and 2 now; in fact, they take the most time, and I advise starting on them early. Then complete step 3 by each meets entry deadline).

Entry Instructions: http://www.milesplit.com/pages/Online_Meet_Reg_Instructions

REMINDER: When you enter your athletes or relay teams, the data base will find that athletes or relays best performance in that event. Please do not adjust these times based on what you hope the athlete will do. Seeding will not be accurate if you do. USE THIS SEASONS BEST FAT TIME AND DISTANCE.

The top 9 in each event will advance to a final round where they will receive another 3 attempts. An athlete may win the event with any of his 6 attempts.

For both relays and sprints (400M and less), there will be 4 heats. The winner of each heat (4 total runners) plus the next 4 fastest times will advance to the final. If the total
number of entries allows us to run 3 heats, then the winner of each heat (3 total runners) plus the next 5 fastest times will advance to the final.
