HOW IT WORKS

Lane 4 Tracking eliminates paper at track meets. Here's what each role can do.

Clerk

The clerk manages athlete check-in at the call room.

Search athletes by name and mark them Checked In, Scratched, No Show, or Late Report
See event readiness at a glance — which events are ready, which are still missing athletes
Receive instant updates when the timer changes an event status (First Call, Final Call, etc.)
See which director and timer are online via the presence indicator
Ping any connected staff member to send a quick message directly to their screen

The timer posts results from the finish line.

Upload HY-TEK HTML (.htm), CSV, or Excel result files directly from any device
Move events through the status workflow: Scheduled → First Call → Final Call → In Progress → Official → Completed
Every status change appears instantly on the clerk and director screens — no radio needed
