The Pennsylvania Track and Field Coaches Association proudly announces its 24th annual Indoor Track Carnival. This event will be held at Lehigh Universitys brand new 200 meter, 6 lane Mondo oval with 10 lanes on the straight and promises to be a spectacular event for all levels of competition. This years meet will be run at metric distances except for the field events and the Mile run.

This year we will limit the number of competitors in each event to shorten the length of the meet. We will accept the top 40 entrants in the 60 dash, 60 hurdles, top 36 in the 200, 400, 800, mile, 4 x 200, 4 x 400, and 4 x 800. The 3000 meter run and the Distance Medley will be limited to the top 15 entrants. In the field events, the PV starting heights will be 8 and 10, high jump will be 46 and 56and we will not measure long jumps less than 14 or 18 and shot puts less than 26 or 38 (girls/boys) so do NOT enter lesser competitors in the field events. Each team will be allowed only one competitor per event. Competitors will be allowed to compete in four events. Seeding will be by committee whose decision is final. No substitution of competitors will be allowed. Also, no food, drinks, or electronic devices (radios, cell phones, etc.) will be allowed as per Lehighs instructions. There will be a concession area where food can be purchased. All food must be consumed in this area. Violation of these rules will result in the expulsion of the offending person or team from Lehigh.
