Seed times: coaches write down the time they think you'll run in a specific event (or your most recent or fastest time) so the officials know what position to start you in. Person with the best seed time is in the innermost lane, the slowest in the outer lanes. The seed times allow the officials to gauge who will probably win. That's how heats come in. If there are many athletes listed for an event, sometimes they will be broken up into two or three heats so they are not all racing at the same time. People with faster seeds are in the first heat and so on. However, if you are in a worse-seeded heat than 1 and you beat the time of someone in heat 1, it counts.

What is a heat in a track and field meet?
A 'heat' is a preliminary race in a running event where the the top 2 or 3 finishers qualify for another race and the others are eliminated. For example, if there were 32 entrants in a 100 meter dash race, you could have 4 'heats' where the first two finishers in each heat would qualify to run in the final race where the winner would be considered the winner of the 100 meter dash for that competition.
How do you determine lane assenments in trak and field?
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.

How do you heat races at a track meet?
You SHOULD seed a race based on the fastest times an athlete presents coming in to the race. Place the fastest in opposite heats. Take the total number of competitors, divide by the number of lanes available. That tells you how many heats you have to run. Count off in the same kind of alternating pattern to balance out the field. By rating it would be something line 1,4 in one heat, and 2,3 in the other. Spread that out across three heats, it would be 1,6; 2,5; 3,4.You must declare how you will advance. If 2 heats and automatic timing you could take the top 2 and then the 4 fastest others; top 3 and the 2 fastest; or simply the top 4 in each heat. Whatever system you use, the competitors MUST know what advances before hand. Every effort is to try to make things as fair as possible.Three heats requires a faster time scheme unless you have 9 lanes and can make it mathematical. An imprecise (hand timing) system requires places over time to be the criteria. Over 24 or 27 entrants (8 or 9 lane track) should require a semi-final, seeded similarly, but now based on actual results in the heat.Distance races tend to avoid heats in all but the largest of meets and generally select more on place rather than time.
