Entry Procedure:
We will be using milesplit to enter this meet. Please login to the milesplit website at: http://pa.milesplit.com/meets/259029/
The password for the meet is somerset15 (all lowercase). If you dont have a login for milesplit, click on the register button at the top to set up an account. You may enter up to 10 athletes per event into milesplit. It is much easier for meet management to delete names from the events than it is to enter names, so if you are not sure who is going to enter in a particular event, please list all possible athletes up to 10. Please enter all running, jumping and throwing events for all Varsity and B-events on milesplit. We will still use cards for the 4x400 and pole vault along with the milesplit entry. Please pick up those event cards upon arrival. The 4x400 cards do not have to be turned in until called.

Seeding Procedure:
Please enter all seed times into mile split. We will not use verified times nor will we be protecting any seeded heats. We are asking that coaches please use good sound judgment when entering seed times. It only disrupts the integrity of the meet as well as embarrasses the athletes. We are asking all coaches to please put down seed times that your athlete can attain at this meet.

Confirmation Procedure (day of the meet):
When you arrive at Lehigh please report to the check in table ASAP to pick up your confirmation sheets. These sheets may also be emailed to the athletic directors ahead of time if time permits. These sheets will list who is entered in each event for your school. You are to review these sheets for accuracy as well as scratch any runners that are not running. We will collect these sheets whether you made changes to them or not at 10:30.
