The Wildcat Classic High School Track Meet is sanctioned by USA Track & Field (USATF) and hosted by the Kentucky Milers' Club, a USATF Club; however, Individual USATF membership is not required to participate in this meet.

ENTRIES: Entry into the Wildcat Classic is open to Kentucky High School athletes ONLY.
(This means that 8th graders and below are not eligible to participate)
Athletes MUST compete only as members of their high school team. Due to a KHSAA rule interpretation, we are not accepting entries from unattached athletes or clubs. We don't want to jeopardize the eligibility of athletes from KHSAA schools by allowing the possibility of "ineligible athletes" competing in the event. The number of athletes entered is unlimited, but each athlete is limited to two individual events and one relay.

--ALL TEAM ENTRIES of 6 or more athletes MUST be made on-line through ASPi Meetz, an online entry service. Find the online site by clicking on the "entry directions" link on the meet index page.

You may begin to enter athletes online in early December, but you must declare & finalize your entries by NOON on Wednesday, January 18th.  You may enter, update, adjust, or scratch your entries anytime until 12:00pm Noon EST on Wednesday January 18th.

------IMPORTANT !!  As the instructions on the entry page indicates, once you click on the DECLARE LIST BUTTON, you will not be able to change your entries and we will not download entries that have not been properly or officially confirmed. We will seed the meet and your entry fee will be calculated using those entries confirmed at 12:00pm Noon on Wednesday, Jan.18th.
Do not use the online entry site if you have a team of 5 or fewer athletes! If you mistakenly enter 5 or fewer athletes online (thru ASPi), you will be charged a minimum entry fee of $60

CONDUCT OF COMPETITION:  A coach, parent, or designated school representative, must accompany athletes to the meet. All running events willl be contested as straight finals. If more than one race is scheduled, a "sections against time" format will be utilized. Sections and lanes of competition will be seeded according to entry times and other available performance information. The first section will be the best seeded section.  This meet will not be scored.

The competition will begin at 12:00pm Noon (eastern standard time), and a "rolling time schedule" will be followed throughout the meet. The Field House will open Saturday morning at 10:30am.
Check the www.uktrack.com website on Friday for the schedule of events with the number of sections indicated to assist you with estimating the time of your events. Start lists will also be posted on Friday afternoon. The "no false start" rule will be in effect.

SPIKE LENGTH:  "Pyramid" or "Christmas Tree" one quarter inch spikes are the only spikes allowed.  Needle spikes are not allowed!

WARM-UP LOGISTICS:  Athletes must warm-up on the football field. A warm-up oval will be marked with banners on the turf. Teams will be required to "camp" or locate inside the oval, allowing athletes warming up a clear path around the oval on the outer edges of the football field. Warming-up will not be allowed on the track !

ATHLETE CHECK-IN:  Athletes in all EVENTS must check-in with the Clerk of Course in the Southeast corner (near the pole vault) of the fieldhouse 15 minutes prior to their race. The clerk will distribute hip numbers to all athletes competing in races in which the competitors do not remain in an assigned lane throughout the entire race (400-800-mile-2 mile-4x400-4x800). Athletes in the 60m, 60m hurdles, and 200m will not need hip numbers. After checking in with the CLERK OF COURSE, athletes will be responsible for reporting to the starting line for their race.The Starting Line Clerks will be wearing black & white striped referee shirts and they will call athletes to the starting line. We will not delay the start waiting for late competitors. Athletes should know their section & lane assignment before heading to the check-in table. It will expedite the check-in process tremendously.

ATHLETIC TRAINERS:  The UK Sports Medicine Staff will provide athletic training needs to all athletes.

TIMING:  ALLTRAX Timing & Lynx Race Management System. A "split-timer" carrying a blue sign will move around the track providing exact split locations.

REST ROOMS:  Lobby restrooms are reserved for spectators and coaches only. Athletes must use the portable toilets in the rear of the field house.
