2023 IPS K-8 Championship Meet

Wed May 17: Championship- Manual HS   HEAT SHEETS      RESULTS

All meet entries for the series will run through MileSplit.  You will need to complete the following steps. (Steps 1-3 will only be done the first time, 4-5 will be done for each meet)

1. create an account on the MileSplit platform.

2. Search for and "claim" your team (may take 24 hours for a claim approval to be processed)

3. Enter your full roster.  All athletes on your team should be entered to the system, not just the ones for the first meet.  Make sure to check the box for "Outdoor" season

4. Accept the invitation to the meet in your MileSplit account, or search for the meet and get added. 

5. Assign the athletes from your roster to the events in which they will be competing.  Please make sure to enter seed marks for them.  If a seed mark is not entered then they will be randomly placed in heats/flights.  

Once you have set up your account and entered your roster, you will not need to do that again.  For future meets we time you will simply accept the invitation and get your athletes entered to the events you want them in. 

More details on this process, including links to MileSplit support pages with screenshots and detailed explanations can be found at our Event Entry Help  page. 

Once the pre-tourney and the qualifying sites are assigned for teams, those direct links for registration will be posted to the Upcoming Event Info page. 

This meet is a championship meet.  Qualification is earned by performances during the Qualification meet round on May 13th.  Regular registration will not be needed, as all entries for this are automatically pulled from the qualifier meets on Saturday the 13th.

Advancement from Qualifiers:  

• Each Event will have up to 16 competing at the Championships at Christel House on May 17th.

• The top 4 in each event and each Relay at each site are AutoQualifiers (That brings 12 to the Championship)

• The next 4 best marks from all three sites combined will be MarkQualifiers (That brings 4 to the Championship)

Each of the 3 qualifying sites will be running Live Results so spectators/coaches/athletes will be able to determine who would be qualified for the Championship.

IF YOU HAVE A QUALIFIER WHO WILL NOT BE COMPETING IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP:

• Please email Josh Varno (varnojj@myips.org) and Micah Mobley (abtiming@gmail.com) within 90 minutes of the conclusion of the qualifier meet.  

IF THERE IS A SCRATCH, we will attempt to contact the next person on the list, to try to fill the field of 16 for the Championship.

COACHES:  If you have an athlete/relay that is close on the qualification list, please stay tuned to email for the afternoon/evening following the Qualifier, as we will attempt to contact you with any advancement opportunities your athletes/relays may have open to them.
