What schools have access to fully-automatic timing?

Face it. We’re long overdue for FAT timing at regionals. If for no other reason, then for fairness. Currently the meets with the worst hand timers get the best finals seeds. I know of at least one regional where 2-3 runners would have qualified for the finals based on AQs but there weren’t enough hand timers to catch them all in a mass finish. FAT would have solved that problem.

However, we can’t make a serious move toward FAT until we find out how many systems we even have in the state. So check out the list at http://www.michtrack.org/FAT.htm and see if you can add anything to it.
