** Rolling Time Schedule. There is not a set time schedule. **
Seeding will be done On The Fly which means athletes will need to check in, declare their intent to run, then once check in closes the athletes that haven't checked in will be scratched. The remaining athletes will get their heat/lane assignments and be setup to run. Coaches may check in their athletes as well as the athletes themselves.
This is a preliminary time schedule and will be adjusted closer to the meet based on entries.
