Declarations Received
Important: Read the list of standards that appears below.
Do not enter athletes who are not capable of meeting these standards.
Our meet is growing and we do not want to reject athletes - BUT WE WILL IF WE ARE FORCED TO.
Thus, a male athlete who has never run a 1600m faster than 5:15 probably won't drop down to the 4:40 standard.
Please be realistic with your seeds and your imagination.
Payment is due by April 29th. No exceptions.
If you can get the Penn Relays payment on time, you can get ours done too.

 Our Meet Standards
We have revised our meet standards to better reflect our clientele.
Please enter those athletes (and only those athletes) who you feel are capable of meeting the following standards. We have a lenient policy, but please don't abuse it. If you think an athlete is close to these marks, he or she should be entered. If you think on his or her best day the mark could be within reach, again, feel free to enter that athlete. If there is no way an athlete could come close to the mark, please...please...please... don't enter him or her.
Teams that abuse this request will be denied future entry into the meet.
