* Entries for Friday events must be based on actual performances in the 2010 season. The name of athlete, event, time and meet where the mark was achieved will be requested during the submission process.
* Special note regarding 1600m/3200m entry: Due to the challenging Minnesota weather we often have, we've decided to accept 1600 meter times to convert up to a 3200 meter. The entry can only be used once - for either the 1600 or 3200, not both. If you would like to use a coverted entry for the 3200, please email Paul Schmaedeke at pschmaedeke@hamline.edu. He will convert the 1600 time for you for the entry process.
DISHONEST ENTRIES WILL NOT BE TOLERATED. A three year ban will be placed on any program entering false times or ineligible athletes.
In the event of bad weather: We will continue the meet regardless, with the exception of near-by lightning. If the meet is cancelled, the decision will be made as early as possible. A cancellation announcement will be posted on the website and an email notification will be sent out to email addresses received during entry process. If cancelled, the meet will not be rescheduled due to limited facility availablity.
Field Sizes: We want to allow as many great athletes into the meet, while still keeping the concept of the meet in place, and keep the meet spectator friendly. Below are the appox. field sizes. Events with an '*' allow for meet management to shift field sizes depending on the closeness of the entered times. If an event is very close, we will try to get the athlete or relay into the meet if the event will allow it safely. If a tie-breaker is needed, we will contact coaches for a 'second best performance' entry.
