ENTRIES: Every school will be allowed to enter 1 relay team in each of the 3 races. For seeding purposes, we are asking for a projected time for each of the three relays, keeping in mind the athletes who will be competing. We want to have heats between teams so that they are as competitive as possible and so that ALL teams can run their fastest times against similar competition. We are just asking that all coaches be realistic rather than wishful in determining your seed times. The actual race will prove everyone right or wrong.

ENTRY DEADLINE: Thursday, March 6th at 12:00 noon. Please email entries to dplunkett@csd99.org by the deadline. Entries not received by this time will be seeded as No Time and placed in the slowest heats.
