ELIGIBILITY
These are open meets. Post collegiate & unattached athletes are welcome but still must follow the entry procedures.

ENTRY FEES
$20 per individual (club or unattached must pay when entering online via direct athletics). Teams will be $20 per individual up to $250 per team (men & women separate). NOTE: If a team enters more than four athletes per event, an additional $5 per additional entrant will be charged.

This is an ENTRY FEE, not a COMPETITION FEE. When you submit your entries, you will be expected to pay your entry fee, regardless of whether you actually compete or not. We allow you to bring your entry fee with you to the meet and do not require you to send it to us ahead of time. Please do not take advantage of this courtesy.

ALL ENTRIES ARE FINAL DECLARATIONS and should be received by the entry deadline.

Please list the athlete's best performance for the 2008 outdoor season.
