Event limits
Competitors may enter a maximum of three individual events.
Additionally, Competitors may also enter the 4x100 and/or 4x400 relay events.
Historically, Alpha Crush does not typically have enough entries to form a relay team. You can also take the initiative and review the "Meet Entries by Event" document (see link below.) On that list you can find others who are interested in running a relay. For these developmental meets you do not have to be the same age division or gender to form a team ... just run in the race based on the oldest team member. If you have questions, ask the day of the meet.

It is a manual process for Coach Matthew to transfer the Meet Selections made by the parents/athletes to "meet" entries. The reports below are updated every few hours until the entry deadline.
List of Running Events
With the exception of the first running event, we cannot tell you with certainty when a particular running event will start. The "pace" of the meet depends on the number of athletes competing, the number of heats required, and the ability of the meet hosts to keep things running quickly. This is referred to as a "rolling start"; the next event is started when the previous event is completed.
Having said that, following the meet entry deadline, Coach Matthew will prepare and provide a link to a spreadsheet that lists estimated starting times for each event. These time estimates are based on experience of how long a particular event takes, the order in which the events occur, and the number of athletes entered in each event..
Note the "as of date/time" in the footer of the report.
Estimates are more accurate after registration closes and Coach Matthew has had time to process the data.
Track event list and order of events
The estimated starting times below in parenthesis (eg. ~9:15am) are based on historical data not entry data for this particular meet. Coach Matthew will provide more detailed *estimates* once registration closes and the number of athletes and heats are determined.
