Cross country coaches will find this iPhone and iPad app invaluable for efficiently managing meet timing and scoring. The app allows them to easily use a CSV file to import runner rosters linked to their school associations, ensuring accurate identification and record-keeping. During meets, coaches can quickly record finishing times for each athlete, with the app automatically scoring the event based on finish positions and times. For track events, the app provides precise split times in relay races, helping coaches analyze race strategies and athlete performance in real-time. The app now has the ability to save and time relays, and will now allow the user to save results. Using this app streamlines the timing, scoring, and data management process, saving coaches time and reducing errors, ultimately allowing them to focus more on training and athlete development.
