How to Submit a Result
Learn how to manually submit track & field performances, add proof links, and get your results verified.
Before You Start
If you have an Athletic.net verified profile, most results will import automatically. Manual submission is for:
- Results not yet on Athletic.net
- MileSplit-only results
- Recent performances waiting to be posted
- Results from smaller or unaffiliated meets
What You'll Need
- Performance details: Event, mark/time, date
- Meet information: Name, location, date
- Proof link: Athletic.net, MileSplit, or official meet results URL
- Additional info (if applicable): Wind reading, timing method (FAT/hand), season (indoor/outdoor)
💡 Pro tip: Have your proof link ready before starting. This makes the submission process much faster and increases approval chances.

Step 3: Enter Your Mark/Time
For Running Events:
- Sprints (100m-400m): Enter in seconds (e.g., 10.95, 48.32)
- Middle/Long Distance: Enter as M:SS.SS (e.g., 1:55.23, 4:18.67)
- Timing method:
- FAT (Fully Automatic Timing) - electronic timing
- Hand timing - stopwatch (will be converted with +0.24s for sprints)
For Field Events:
- Horizontal Jumps (LJ, TJ): Enter in meters (e.g., 7.25) or feet-inches (e.g., 23-9.5)
- Vertical Jumps (HJ, PV): Enter in meters (e.g., 2.05) or feet-inches (e.g., 6-8.75)
- Throws (SP, DT, JT, WT): Enter in meters (e.g., 15.42) or feet-inches (e.g., 50-7)
⚠️ Important: Enter your mark exactly as it appears on the official results. Don't round or estimate.
Step 4: Add Wind Information (if applicable)
For 100m, 200m, and horizontal jumps, wind readings are important:
- Enter wind in meters per second (e.g., +2.0, -1.5, 0.0)
- Wind legal: Wind assistance ≤ +2.0 m/s
- Wind illegal (IL): Wind assistance > +2.0 m/s
- If no wind reading is available, leave blank (will be marked as NWI - No Wind Info)
Step 5: Enter Meet Details
- Meet Name: Full official name (e.g., "CIF State Championships")
- Meet Date: Date the performance was achieved
- Season: Indoor or Outdoor
- Indoor: Typically Nov-Feb
- Outdoor: Typically Mar-Aug
- Location (optional): City and state
Step 6: Add Proof Link
This is the most critical step for verification!
Acceptable Proof Sources:
- Athletic.net: Direct link to the meet results page showing your performance
- MileSplit: Article or results page with your performance
- Official results PDFs: Link to hosted PDF (via Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.)
- Meet director websites: Official results pages
NOT Acceptable:
- ❌ Social media posts without official results
- ❌ Personal photos/screenshots only
- ❌ "Trust me" or no proof
- ❌ Broken or private links
How to get a good proof link:
- Find your result on Athletic.net or MileSplit
- Copy the URL from your browser's address bar
- Test the link in a private/incognito window to ensure it's publicly accessible
- Paste it into the proof URL field
Step 7: Review and Submit
- Double-check all information for accuracy
- Confirm your proof link is correct and accessible
- Click Submit Result
- You'll see a confirmation message that your result is pending verification
What Happens Next?
Verification Process:
- Pending: Your result is in the queue for review (typically 24-48 hours)
- Under Review: A moderator is checking your proof link and details
- Approved: Your result is verified and appears on your profile!
- Rejected: There was an issue (you'll receive feedback on why)
Common Rejection Reasons
- Invalid proof link: Link is broken, private, or doesn't show the claimed performance
- Name mismatch: Name on proof doesn't match your profile name
- Incorrect details: Time/mark doesn't match proof, wrong date, wrong event
- Duplicate result: This performance was already submitted
- Insufficient proof: Social media post or screenshot without official results
✓ Best practices: Submit results as soon as they're posted online. Fresh results are easier to verify and less likely to have broken links.
Troubleshooting
Can't find proof link?
Wait until the meet director posts results online. Most meets post results to Athletic.net within 1-3 days. Check MileSplit for meet recaps that include results.
Result was rejected?
Read the rejection feedback carefully. Fix the issue (usually updating the proof link or correcting details) and resubmit. Contact support if you need help.
Wrong grade/class year showing?
Your grade is calculated automatically based on your class year and the meet date. If it's wrong, check that your class year is correct in Settings. Remember: the school year boundary is August 1st, not January 1st.
