SPECTATOR ADMISSION

We are using Ticket Sign Up this year for mobile ticketing that you can buy ahead of Saturday.  We will scan your ticket as you enter the venue.

The event is open to all athletes of all abilities. Our goal is for the event to range from athletes looking to chase state-leading marks, to JV athletes looking to close the season with a PR against a field full of athletes with similar abilities.

If you have any questions on the event or need assistance registering, email the meet director at jason.creasy11@gmail.com.  If you have interest in bringing your team or athletes to the event send us an email to make sure we're sanctioned for you well in advance!

Registration

We will seed using the MileSplit Database using 2025 Season Best from Indoor or Outdoor Track. Athletes' season-best and personal best in the 800m, 1600m, and 3200m will be considered when seeding heats.

Registration will open on January 1st, 2025 and will close on Sunday, April 20th at 8 PM. While registration will close we will update seeds on Sunday night once that week's results are in the database so updated seasons best are included in the seeding. Please email in any scratches after registration closes so we can accurately build heats and meet schedule.

PARKING

You can park at Weddington High School, Weddington Middle School or Weddington Elementary.  All are surrounding the track and have different entrances.  The high school has the most parking.  Gates will be open from the high school and middle school, which is next to the elementary school.
