18/NAC_Track__Field_Sport_Guidelines_2018.pdf.

Facilities (see campus map):

the Kelsey Athletic Campus on Kelsey Rd. This facility contains the outdoor track
as well as competition areas for shot put, long/triple jump, high jump and pole

Campus map: https://colby-sawyer.edu/pdf/campus-map.pdf

Bus/Van Parking (see campus map):
Buses and vans may drop athletes off at the track, but may not remain at the Kelsey
Athletic Campus. Please know that this is a tight space so it is important that your
Track & Field Championships Sunday, April 29, 2018 - Hosted by: Colby-Sawyer College (New London, N.H.) - Lancer Timing
athletes are ready to unload and get off the bus immediately upon arrival at the
track so additional buses can get down the road to do the same. Buses should park
on Upper Campus (parking lot near the Hogan Sports Center - #16 on campus
map). Vans may park in K-Lot or on Upper Campus.

Should road conditions not allow for vehicle traffic on the morning of the meet,
coaches will be alerted on Friday, April 27th and buses and vans will be instructed
to drop athletes in K-Lot.

Campus map: http://www.colby-sawyer.edu/assets/pdf/csc-campus-map.pdf

Team Tents/Camps:
Team camps may be set up on the infield of the track, but any team tents need to be
set up on the outside of the track fence. Please make sure athletes on the infield
stay clear of corners that officials need to see for events.

Meet Shuttle:
There will be shuttles for competing athletes and coaches between the Outdoor
Track Facility and Mercer Field (hammer/discus/javelin location). One shuttle will
be located at each facility and will return to the same facility so they will only be
gone for a few minutes at a time. Signage will show where athletes/coaches should
wait if the shuttle is in route.

Entry Fees:
$25 per athlete (unlimited events) with a maximum fee of $300 per gender/per
team (M & W calculated separately). Please mail check or bring to packet pick-up.
Cash will not be accepted. Late entries will be assessed a $50 fine per athlete and
will not be accepted once the performance list has been released.

Declarations, Entries & Wildcards:
Declarations
All entries will be considered declarations. As stated in 4-2.2 of the NCAA
Rulebook, athletes must compete in each event in which they are declared. A
failure to participate is considered an assumption that the competitor in
violation has abandoned the competition and therefore, shall be barred from
all remaining events in the current meet, including relays. Relay team members
will not be considered declared until the coach/relay team has submitted a relay
card, so an athlete originally intended to be on the relay can be replaced by an
alternate on the relay card and not be barred from remaining individual
competitions. However, an athlete that has been scratched from individual events
earlier in the day cannot be on a relay.

Entries
Both true performance entries and wildcards can now be submitted on Direct
Athletics. Entries and wildcards will be due on Direct Athletics on Wednesday,
April 25, 2018, at 11:59 p.m. An e-mail must also be sent to Rick Berryman at
rick@lancertiming.com to confirm your wildcards (name and event).

All individual athletes entered in the NAC Track & Field Championships must
have a mark in Direct Athletics from the 2018 outdoor season indicating that they
have participated in the event they are being entered in. Relays will be open and
will not require a mark in Direct Athletics. All relays that don’t have a mark from
the season will be entered at NT.

Mile times run in the 2018 outdoor season may be entered and converted to the
1500m. Athletes should be entered in the 1500m and in the notes section for that
event, coaches should list the mile time that they ran. Our timer will convert those
marks to a 1500m performance.

Wildcards
Each school will be allowed four wild card entries per team (genders calculated
separately: 4 for men, 4 for women) to enter an athlete who has not participated in
an event during that outdoor season. All athletes being entered as a wildcard
cannot use speculative times and will be listed at NT/NH/ND.

Wildcards must be submitted on Direct Athletics with the submission of
NT/NH/ND when you do your regular entries for the meet. Please specify in
the notes section of DA entry page that this entry is a wildcard. All wildcards
entries (name and event) should also be e-mailed to Rick Berryman at
rick@lancertiming.com to confirm the wildcards that have been entered on Direct
Athletics.

Entries/Wildcard Example:
Athlete Stephen Bennett has a season time in the 800, so that is a true mark he can
be entered at (yellow box below). To enter him as a wildcard in the 400m (red box
below), the entry must be submitted on DA with a notation for “wildcard” in the
entry note/additional info section. An e-mail with wildcard confirmation must also
be sent to Rick Berryman at rick@lancertiming.com by the entry deadline of
Wednesday, April 25, 2018. Example provided on next page.
