Female contestants in each age division will compete first, followed by the male contestants in that age division. In all track events, heats will be run with the best time determining the final placing (except 100 M Dash). Only the 100 M dash will be listed in heats.

Seed Times:  Seed times are not required, however, athletes can indicate their seed times on the entry form or during online registration.  These seed times will be taken into consideration when creating the meet.
