Notre Dame will be hosting the Alex Wilson Indoor Track and Field Invitational on Friday and Saturday, March 4-5, 2005 at the Loftus Sports Center on the Notre Dame campus. The time schedule is listed below. The schedule will be adjusted for accuracy based on the number of entries.
ENTRIES: Notre Dame will use the DIRECT ATHLETICS online entry system. To enter athletes for the Alex Wilson Invitational, go to: www.directathletics.com. You must have both your username and password to enter the site. If you do not have a username and password, email the site to obtain one at support@directathletics.com
ENTRY DEADLINE: Wednesday, March 2 at 12 p.m. EST. Late entries will not be accepted.
Please keep in mind that this is an NCAA-sanctioned last chance meet, and our focue is on providing a great opportunity for deserving athletes to qualify for the NCAA Division I Indoor Championships. Please limit your entries to those athletes whom you feel can be competitive in such a competition. We will do everything possible to place your athletes in sections that will help them achieve that end. In order for us to provide the best competition possible for your athletes, we expect you to enter your athletes with legitimate marks achieved during the 2005 indoor season. We will use NCAA and conference performance lists to verify entries. Athletes will be placed in sections based on legitimate marks, not preferences. Please make our jobs simpler by providing accurate entries.
SCRATCHING ENTRIES: Please scratch athletes from events which they will not be contesting prior to the entry deadline (Wednesday, March 2, at 12 p.m. EST). Athletes entered in multiple events which are not realistic to contest will be placed in slower sections in all events entered. Should you have a scratch following the entry deadline, please call or e-mail so we have the correct information when we create sections.
ENTRY FEE: $25 per athlete entered. Checks should be made payable to the University of Notre Dame.
FACILITY: The Loftus Center features a 320-meter Mondo track. Pole vault and horizontal jumps are contested on raised runways on the turf infield. The high jump is contested on a Mondo platform. The throws are contested on a wooden circle on the turf field.
PARKING: Because of construction, parking around the facility is very limited. Teams should park in the lot south of the Joyce Center, or north of the facility across from the library. Security personnel will direct you to the nearest lot after you drop off your athletes.
SHOWERS: There are no shower facilities at the Loftus Center. Please plan to shower at your hotel.
QUESTIONS: If you have any further questions, please contact Joe Piane (574-631-6135) or Tim Connelly (574-631-6989 – connelly.1@nd.edu).
