ALL Schools from Greenville County including private schools are invited to compete in the longest continual track and field meet in South Carolina.
Entry Limit: Every school is allowed at least three athletes per event regardless of performance or grade. Each school may enter a 4th athlete per event provided that all 4 have met the qualifying standards below. The qualifying standards are based on the 16th place performance from last years meet. In some instances, there were not 16 athletes and the performance is the last place performance. (Note: Although we want to expand the meet, we do not want everyone to just enter 4 athletes just to enter 4. Please make sure that each of your athletes have met the standard if you enter 4 so we can increase the quality of the competition, not just add people!). Only one relay team may be entered. Athletes entered in the Varsity Meet cannot be entered in the JV Meets. (See JV Meet information sheet). If you enter 4 athletes in an event, the performance has to be substantiated through results on milesplit.com.

I will be able to answer all of your questions about your entries and have computers available for you to make changes for the Varsity Meet (last chance). Hopefully, the information in these pages is what all you need for this meet, so the meeting will be just for us to get together and allow me to thank you (with a meal) for helping out and celebrate the longevity of this meet.
Meet Packet: You will pick up your packet of numbers, wristbands, etc. at the Coaches Meeting on Tuesday. Remember that no athletes can enter the stadium without a wristband. In the packet you will find:
