Facilities (see campus map): The Sally Shaw Veitch Track & Field facility (#21 on campus map) is located at 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 vault. Mercer Field (#22 on campus map) is home to the hammer/discus circles and the javelin runway. 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
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. Please make checks payable to: Colby-Sawyer College Please send check to: Colby-Sawyer College ATTN: Lyndsay Ostler 541 Main St. New London, NH 03257 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.
