Ignore any amount that appears as an email invoice after you have completed your online entry here. The ECADA will calculate your actual invoice and send it to your AD.


Your official entry into the 2026 ECADA Outdoor Track Individual Championship must be submitted online through, nj.milesplit.com no later than Midnight on Tuesday, May 5th ,2026.


Coaches MAY NOT make changes to their roster, or to the six names in individual events, or the eight names in the relay events after May 5th. This means that there will be no name changes or additions to rosters at the meet on either May 8th or May 9th.
NO teams or athletes will be added at the meet, to an event, once the sheets have been turned into the computer people. THE EVENT IS CLOSED AT THAT POINT! So don't wait until the last minute to highlight your athletes!


LIMITED ENTRIES:
Each school will be entitled to a maximum of THREE competitors per individual event, and ONE 1600m Relay team per school, on the day of the meet. To allow coaches greater flexibility in putting their entries together, you may enter up to 6 athletes per event, in individual events, but only three individuals will actually compete on meet day. You may enter up to 8 athletes in the relay. The extra 4 names serve as alternates on your relays.


You must enter your athletes' names in each event on Milesplit. The athlete names are necessary because like the state meets, each athlete's seeds, will be generated automatically by Milesplit. You cannot generate you own seed times!


RUNNING EVENTS:
Coaches MUST HIGHLIGHT the three athletes in individual events and four athletes per relay on the day of the meet, prior to the clerks declaring the event closed for seeding purposes. Any athlete or relay team not highlighted prior to seeding will be scratched.


FIELD EVENTS:
Field events will be done off sheets. However coaches must sign an event card in order for their athletes to gain entry to the event.  Coaches you must report to each field event venue to scratch the athletes not competing in any event you have entered This must be completed before the events begin!

Coaches will not be able to fill-in seed times on Milesplit for this meet. All seeds will be taken from Milesplit. No relays split times will be used for seeding in individual events. Seeds will come from both the indoor and outdoor season for determining seeding. 

Special Note: John Schwarz will not make changes after the fact if the names appear wrong in the results because you highlighted the wrong names, or you made a change to your athletes running on the 4 x 400 relay, after the meet!!!! So do your job carefully when highlighting names at the meet!

 If you need a name change after the meet YOU need to contact Milesplit personally!!!! THEY - (not you) will verify any change with me!
