When registering, remember that you are setting up coed squads for all the field events, the 4 X Mile, and the Hurdles races. In these cases you will register two males, then later two females for the same event. They will be imported and combined to make a squad later. (If you have more than one squad of athletes for a coed event, read the instructions on the registration for how to register these athletes)
