‚ This time schedule is approximate! We will move faster if possible and
slower if more heats need to be added. Coaches and athletes are
responsible for keeping track of how fast or slow the meet is
progressing and should adjust their warm-ups and reporting to the clerk
of the course accordingly.

‚ Athletes should know the official time they were entered by their
coach. This will help athletes to know approximately when their heats
will be called at the clerk of the course. The fastest athletes entered
will be the first ones called by the clerk.
Example: If you are a girl entered at a time of 5:07 in the 1600 meters,
you will probably be in the first heat scheduled to begin at
approximately 4:10 PM. If you were entered at a time of 6:31, there are
250 girls entered ahead of you and your race will be run approximately
one hour and thirty minutes after that first girls’ 1600 heat.

‚ All runners who are likely to be in the first few heats should report
to the Clerk of the Course at least 20 minutes prior to the scheduled
start of the first heat of their event. That is when heats will be
seeded and sent to the starting line. If an athlete is not there to
report when his or her name is called, he or she will not be put into a
slower heat.

‚ Athletes will be able to warm-up, stretch and do strides after
checking in at the clerk near the high jump apron.

‚ The only events seeded ahead of time are the Invitational 3200 meter
races. A list of the athletes entered in those races is listed in the
meet program.

‚ In the 400, 800, and 1600 meter races, the first heat is for the
fastest qualifiers and is considered to be the “Invitational” race in
that division at that distance.

‚ All other heats after the first “Invitational” heat, are finals with
medals being awarded in each heat.
