The Pennsylvania Track and Field Coaches Association proudly announces its 33rd annual Indoor Track Carnival. This event will be held at Lehigh University's brand new 200 meter, 6 lane oval with 6 lanes on the straight and promises to be a spectacular event for all levels of competition. This year's 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 18 entrants in the 60 dash, 60 hurdles, 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. Field events will be limited to the top 18 entrants. 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, or drinks, will be allowed as per Lehigh's instructions. There will be a concession area where food can be purchased.
