NOTE: We intend to utilize FAT (Fully Automatic Timing) for all running events. We will probably only “hand time” first place, so in the event of FAT failure, you might want to have somebody timing your athletes. In the event that there are a large number of JV entries, we may limit JV to 6 per individual running event.
