We'll post an accurate listing on Friday but right now it looks like the earliest we could finish would be about 6:50pm --- the latest would be about 7:35pm. Most likely will be about 7:15pm.
Hopefully, we can average a fire of the starting gun----
60m Dash & 60m Hurdles - every 1 minute, 30 seconds
Mile - every 6:30 minutes for men, every 7:30 minutes for women
400m - every 1:45 (or faster)
800m - every 3:15 for men, every 4:00 for women (or faster)
200m - every 1:30 (only about 45 seconds to get blocks set)
We will sacrifice some race congestion in order to run fewer heats. So be sure to explain to your athletes that they will have to be prepared for some physical contact and some traffic early on that might not allow them to get right onto a certain pace.
The idea is that some heats look crowded...but we expect heats to scratch down. For example - a mile heat with 20 boys is likely to scratch down to about 16-17 actual runners showing up to the line. An 800m heat with 15 runners is likely to scratch down to about 12-13. This is based off of the scratches we've had in the races over each of the last 5 years.
