ENTRIES

Due Date: Thursday, April 30, 2009 at 4:30 PM

Schools are allowed three entries in all individual events. Teams are limited to one relay entry per event. Please make sure that no athlete is entered in more than four events.

In past years, entries have been due on the Monday previous to the invitational. Because we are using an online entry method, entries are not due until Thursday. Due to the lateness of the entry deadline, NO substitutions will be allowed on the day of the meet.
