The fastest runners get the middle lanes (3,4,5,6), and the slower runners get the inside and outside lanes (1,2,7,8, and sometimes 9). There is sometimes a random draw involved, but that will still involve fast runners in the middle lanes.

The seed times determine who goes where in the first round. A seed time is usually the qualifying time for the meet, or the best time so far that year.

After the first round of heats, the times from that round are used to determine who goes in which lanes for the next round.
