Meet Entry:

Entry into the meet [for the general public] is handled by the Coach O registration system. You can visit this page to view participating teams and see the performance list. Entry for Alpha Crush team members is done here.

Note: Coach O has a new club/team registration methodology. If you say your club/team is a "USATF Youth" type in the Team Settings, your roster can only be imported from the USATF National database. Instead, I suggest you use "Parks & Recreation" to import your roster from another source, then change it back to USATF Youth as needed.

Alpha Crush Parents: Meet entry deadline 8:00 pm, Wednesday, October 9. Entry for Alpha Crush team members is done here.

Notes:

  • This is a USATF-sanctioned meet.

      • As a sanctioned event, for insurance purposes, a signed "Participant Waiver & Release Form" is needed for each participant.

      • Most clubs/athletes signed waivers at the Alpha Crush meet. If you did not, please bring the waiver to this meet.

    • A USATF membership is *not* required.

    • See USATF calendar for additional sanctioned meets.

      • Top 10 individuals (8 & under, 9-10, 11-12, 13-14)

      • Top 5 individuals (15-16 and 17-18 combined)

      • Top 2 teams (8 & under, 9-10, 11-12, 13-14)

        • Team awards go "8 deep"; non-scoring runners "9 and above" do not receive medals

        • No team awards for 15-16 or 17-18 age divisions

    • Results (and awards) will be available approximately 30 minutes after the completion of each race. The SMART Athletics timing crew tabulates the results from each previous race as the next race is underway. Unforeseen circumstances (lost bib # numbers, athletes running in wrong race) may affect the amount of time needed to prepare these results.

  • Go past the aquatic center and head deep into the park, meet is near the ball fields.

    • Please park near the playground or soccer fields or to left near the tree line.
