Davis Invitational

The Davis Invitational

Let me give a brief explanation of the Davis invite and who gets in. 

The Davis invite is essentially two meets - the AM meet is called the open, the PM is called the invited /seeded section. The open has several heats of everything. The invited is one heat of everything. The way they set up the meet is anyone can register with times they got this year, and then they scratch everyone who is below a certain number. For example: say that 100 people sign up for the mile, but they only want 36 kids. They will take the fastest 36 kids and scratch the others. The fastest 12 or so of those kids will be in the invited section in the afternoon.) They also post a short list of alternates in case someone drops out last second, then they will fill in the gaps. There is no moving from the PM section to the AM section. If you are fast enough to make the PM session, they won't switch you.

Because of this method, we won't know who makes it into the meet until Wednesday or Thursday, at which point they will post the accepted entries, and I will share the link as well.

The schedule for the meet can be found at the link below, as well as a lengthy explanation of how the meet works. You can skim for the schedule if you'd like. They also posted an "estimated" cut off time for each event at the end of the document, but that is 100% a guess and will most likely be faster or slower in every event.
