Subsection Running Events

Thursday, May 10th - East Subsection at Watertown @ 4:00 PM

Thursday, May 10th - West Subsection at Stratford @ 4:00 PM

Please note that since the 4 event limit applies, an athletes participation in a subsection relay count as a section event. For example, if an athlete qualifies for the section in 2 events, he/she will be eligible to participate in 2 relays. However, any athlete not qualified in 4 events for the section meet is eligible to compete in relays at the Section Meet.

Coaches you will be allowed THREE entries per individual event in the East Subsectional. Only 1 relay team will be able to compete per school.

IN ALL EVENTS, the Top THREE from each Subsection will automatically qualify to move on to the Section Finals plus the next best 10 qualifiers overall between the two Subsections, for a total of 16 athletes in each event.

Coaches we will need some help with the Field Events & Relay Exchange Zones during the Subsection Meet. I will ask teams with multiple coaches/assistant coaches first. We have several non-coach volunteers, but need extra help.

Section Finals

Section Field Events: Monday, May 14th at Stratford @ 10:00 AM

Section Running Events: Monday, May 14th at Stratford @ 3:00 PM

We plan to have a business meeting of all coaches about 30 minutes before the start of the Section Running Finals on May 14th. We will need to determine the site of the 2019 meets and if you want to continue with Subsections or just have a Section meet.

Entries for the Pentathlon and Decathlon (at ?????) ARE DUE BY noon on ????????. Entries may be made online through????????? There is no extra entry fee for these events. That cost is part of your section fee.

EAST SUBSECTION ENTRIES ARE DUE BY 3:00 P.M. Central Time on Friday, MAY 4. It would be a great idea for you to go ahead and enter or update your team roster on the Tennessee Runner website. The method for entering a new team roster will take some time. Existing rosters just need updating. After you register at tn.milesplit.com for an account, you will have to wait to receive a confirmation e-mail from them before entering your information. If you will establish your roster early, the actual entry process will go much faster. The link at Tn mile split is: tn.milesplit.com/calendar#May . There should be a link for entries on the TSSAA website that will also take you to the registration site.

Athletes may only be in 4 total events (the pentathlon and decathlon do not count in this) in the Subsection meet. For example, if an athlete is in 1 field event and 2 individual running events, the athlete may only participate in one relay. He/she may be listed in all 4 relays, but can only participate in one of them. These meets will be considered 2 separate meets in that if your relay team qualifies for the section meet, you may use any athletes on your team in the section meet relays-as long as they dont violate the 4 event rule at the section meet. In essence, your school is qualifying a relay team and you may use any athletes you wish to use at the section meet. This is the same format that has been used in past years when advancing from the sectional meet to the state meet. Please get your entries in on time or you will be charged a late fee of $25 per day (per TSSAA rules). Any changes that involve a substitution made after the deadline will also be subject to the TSSAA fine of $25 per day. Scratching an athlete from the meet is not subject to a fine. Asking to add an athlete or submit a new name in an individual event will result in the fine.

EAST SUBSECTION Entry fee checks are due in by Friday April 27. (Please get your entry fees in on time to avoid us having to collect fees during the meet.) Entry fees (for the East Subsection Teams) should be sent in to Josh Hurst, Alvin C. York Institute, P.O. Box 70, Jamestown, Tennessee 38556. Checks should be made out to York Institute Track. They should be mailed in time to arrive by April 27. Entry Fees will be $130 per school; ($65 if only a boys or girls team) or $10 per athlete if 6 or fewer athletes. Please have Attn; Josh Hurst on the envelope! ***Please ignore any mention of entry fees on the Tennessee Runner website. They have no record of entry fees, so that information is not accurate. This fee covers both Subsection and Section expenses.

Thanks Coaches,
