In 2025 we are shifting up the meet schedule some to better accommodate our 800 athletes who are doubling back with the Mile. The 800 will be on FRIDAY, the fastest 2 heats of boys and girls will also be moved to Friday Night before the fastest 2 heats of girls 3200/ boys 3200. 400M will be moved to Saturday and will be straight finals - no prelims. (The final 2025 meet schedule won't be finalized until registration closes the week of the event. This is an example of what to expect from last years event. Please know that as the meet grows, the races will start earlier in the day.)

The final two heats of the night will be the championship heats. Seed time is what qualifies you for those heats along with a 2 auto qualifiers from the RunningLane XC Championships.
