High School and Middle School divisions. Divisions will race separately. The High School division is for NC school teams only and unattached athletes, no club teams or non-NC school teams. Out-of-state athletes must compete unattached. School teams, club teams, and unattached athletes will be accepted in the Middle School division.
Entry Limits: The Top-32 entries will be accepted in the 100m, 400m, and 1600m races. The Top-16 entries will be accepted in the HS 800m. In the case of ties that cause the number of entries to exceed these limits, meet management reserves the right to accept more or less than the maximum. If the meet schedule allows, we may expand the field in some high-demand events.
You can put in entries any time and we will update all seed times before finalizing the entries.
Accepted entries will be posted after the entry deadline. Entering your athlete does not guarantee them a spot in the meet - not all registered entries will make it into the field, so please check back after the entry deadline to confirm accepted entries.
Since there are entry limits, please wait until after the deadline when entries are accepted/rejected and finalized before making online payment. After accepted entries are confirmed, you can use online payment for entry fees.
Entry Fee: $20 per entry. Online payment available; online payments must be made before meet day. For payment by check, make checks payable to: Cary Athletic Club. You may bring to the meet or mail to: Conrad Hall, 1500 N. Harrison Ave, Cary, NC 27513.
