I would like to run in this local meet where my team has not been signed up. The 1600 heat contains many good runners and looks to be a really good chance to break 4:20 (PR is 4:21 from indoor). But the entries are closed, or else my coach would’ve entered me.
Apart from the ethics of it all and bypassing the payment, etc, what would hinder me from sneaking into this heat?
sign up unattached.
entries are closed and it’s sanctioned by the state organization so no unattached (I’m assuming that’s the reason)

Email them.
Wait until the race finishes and note the winning time. Jump on the track and start running looking at your watch every lap. As the crowd sees what you are doing, they will start cheering. Use that as motivation to beat the winning time. After you hit the finish and look at your watch, chuck it over the grandstands and walk triumphantly out of the stadium!!!

You could get your school in trouble, maybe get fined, or maybe be not allowed to race in anymore high school meets.
