Meet EntriesMeet Entries Varsity position are earned on and off the track, not
simply given based on top performances. Entry limits
Some larger invites typically have a 28 entry limit. Others have a 3 per event limit or unlimited JV entries.
Meet entries deadlines are sometimes a week ahead of time and cannot be altered once submitted.
The coaches will assume that you are able to compete in every meet unless you tell us well in advance. Late notices can be very frustrating.
There is always a reason behind every entry. If you want to know the reasoning, please ASK!

Practice = ParticipationPractice = Participation
Athletes have to be at and able to participate in practice the day before a meet, unless it is pre-approved by the coaches. Example: If you are late to school and not able to
practice the day before a meet, you will not be able to participate, but you’ll be expected to “work” the meet. This would hold true for any unexcused absence.
