We have had several entry updates and corrections since posting the Psyche Sheets. Catching errors and correcting them of course, is one of the purposes of the Psyche Sheet.

These corrections WILL NOT appear in the online Psyche Sheet but WILL be in the meet database and on the check-in sheets. The Live Results version of the Psyche Sheet has been updated today.

Please go to the Meet Operations Table in the stands if you have any further corrections to your entry. Check the meet landing page for updated information including the timing assignment list,  pre-scratch timeline and directions.
