APRIL 8, 2011
Each team may enter three individuals per event and one relay team. The Tennessee entry limitation is that no contestant may participate in more than four events. Online entry only, there will be no race day entries
It is very important that coaches be honest and accurate in turning in their athletes best times or performances. We will be running sections of each event. The better runners will be grouped together, but all sections times will be compared for place.
