Entries:

All entries shall be submitted by the coaches via an Internet site hosted by ASPi Solutions, Inc.

Approximately 30 days prior to the meet, the Conference office will notify the coaches of the Internet address to enter their student-athletes in the championship.

Each team must declare its roster/entries no later that 10:00 a.m. (CST) on Thursday, May 11, 2006, one day prior to the meet.

At this time, each team may have only the maximum of thirty-two (32) officially declared athletes. From this point forward throughout the championships, no further additions may be made to the officially declared roster, including available relay personnel. The NCAA Honest Effort Rule shall apply.

a. To be considered for seeding, performances must be recorded outdoors no earlier than March 1, preceding the meet.

b. No relay splits may be submitted as seed times.

c. All entries must include the event, date and place where seed times were recorded. As verification, official results (typed results or newspaper clippings) from the entire meet must be available prior to and at the Championship should verification be necessary. If no other official records exist, institutions’ sports information rankings (which must include dates and sites) will be accepted.

d. Heating and seeding procedures for the Big 12 championships will be consistent with NCAA procedures.

Heat and lane assignments, as well as rankings of each event by seed times as converted (and including the original time and distance), will be distributed to the coaches at the time designated for the pre-championship meeting the day before the meet. A 30-minute “challenge period” for entries will begin at that time. If a challenge is upheld by the declarations official because an incorrect time was submitted, the coach will be fined $50 and a letter will be sent to the athletics director. The student-athlete will remain in the event with the correct time and the event will be redrawn. If the student-athlete does not appear on the entry forms, he/she will not be allowed to compete in the meet.

In any event in which preliminaries are held, the number of individuals advancing to the finals shall be consistent for all events. For the 2006 Championship meet, there will be 8 finalists in all events in which preliminaries are held.

On May 16, 1997, the Hart-Patterson Track and Field Complex made history as the site for the inaugural Big 12 Track and Field Outdoor Championships. The $1 million worth of renovations done to the facility have made it one of the nation's finest collegiate track and field complexes. Named for two legendary Baylor track coaches, Jack Patterson and Clyde Hart, the entire facility enjoyed a complete makeover, resulting in one of the country's premiere places to run, jump and throw. In 2005, the entire facility's competition areas were resurfaced with a Canipur overlay. The Winston Wolfe Clubhouse and Hart Patterson plaza was completed in 2003. In 1997, one of college track's finest scoreboards was added in addition to a hammer throw area, expanded and upgraded stands, newly-paved parking lots, new restrooms, storage rooms, and an entry gate with ticket booths. In all, well over $1 million has been spent in honor of the late Jack Patterson, who coached the Bears to three Southwest Conference titles and has a lengthy tenure as Baylor's athletic director, and Hart was named United States Olympic Committee Elite coach-of-the-year in 1996 and was named an assistant coach for the USA Men's Olympic Team for the 2000 Olympics. After the Baylor thinclads spent many years at old Municipal Stadium on Dutton Street, they opened a new facility in 1960 known simply as Baylor Track Stadium. When it first opened, it featured a Red Dog Cinder/clay surface which was financed by donations from ex-lettermen. In 1976, Baylor, the City of Waco and the Waco Independent School District teamed up to finance a $200,000 state-of-the-art Chevron 440 rubberized surface which replaced the old track, giving Baylor one of the fastest surfaces in the world. That same year, lights were added for the first time. In 1988, a new Spartan surface was installed by the Balsam Company, the same company that installed Floyd Casey Stadium's All-Pro football surface. Also added were a steeplechase water jump and an extended javelin throwing area. The high jump approach and long jump/pole vault runways were also extended and resurfaced. The next year, new aluminum bleachers were added. Much of the renovation costs were paid for by a $150,000 grant from the Cooper Foundation of Waco. In 1993, the Baylor-Waco Foundation paid for a Rekoratan surface. The 440-yard oval surface was the site of the 1960, 1976, 1980, and 1989 Southwest Conference meets. Since 1974, the Bears have annually hosted the Baylor/Dr. Pepper Invitational, one of the southwest's premiere meets. The stadium has also hosted such events as the TAPPS state championships, UIL regional championships, the Special Olympics, the Michael Johnson Classic, the State Games of , the Waco City Championships and the Athletes in Action summer youth track ministry program. Throughout its history, some of the world's most elite track and field athletes have competed at the Hart-Patterson Track and Field Complex. The list includes Olympic gold medalists Michael Johnson, Randy Matson, Charles Austin, Leroy Burrell, , Mike Conley, , Carlette Guidry, Mike Stulce, , Joe DeLoach, Johnny "Lam" Jones, , Christie Gaines and Kevin Robinzine.
