TLDR

Athletic.net is the national hub for high school track and XC results, rankings, and meet entries. Split Track is the all-in-one mobile app for running your program day to day: schedule, practices, live splits, athlete workouts, tasks, and team chat. Many coaches keep Athletic.net for public results and entries, then use Split Track to run the season itself.

Why coaches compare these two

If you coach high school track or cross country, you already know Athletic.net. It is where entries go, where results live, and where athletes check rankings. The gap shows up between meets: practices, RSVPs, live split capture, weight-room logs, and team communication still scatter across spreadsheets, group texts, and clipboards.

That is the comparison that matters. Athletic.net owns the public results layer. Split Track aims at the full program layer on your phone.

What Athletic.net does well

Athletic.net positions itself as results, team, and event management for track and field and cross country. Coaches use it to browse events, manage season calendars, submit entries, post results, and track improvement. Event directors and timers invite teams, collect entries and fees, and upload official results. Athletes, parents, and fans look up marks, rankings, and meet details.

That network effect is real. Large invitationals and state-level events often run through Athletic.net. For many programs, it is non-negotiable for entries and public history.

Athletic.net is strongest when the job is: get into the meet, get results out, and keep a long public record.

Where the season still needs more

Results and entries do not replace practice planning. They do not capture every interval split on a Tuesday workout. They do not give athletes a clear workout view on their own phone, or track physicals, uniform returns, and summer mileage with due dates.

If your pain is "I live in Athletic.net during track season and XC season but still run the team out of texts and Google Sheets," you are looking for a program OS, not another results site.

How Split Track approaches the same world

Split Track is built as one app for the whole season: practices and meets on one calendar with RSVPs and attendance; Meet Manager for event assignments, live times and splits, and instant result sharing with the team; Practice Planner so coaches build the workout once and run it live while times sync to athlete profiles; athlete-facing workouts; tasks for paperwork and gear; roster and roles; and team chat.

  • All-in-one mobile app, schedule, meets, practices, roster, tasks, and chat in one place
  • Live split capture, times and splits as the workout or race happens
  • Athlete-facing workouts, athletes see the plan and log what they did
  • Free trial, first month free so you can run a real practice week before you commit
