We've released embeddable reports for Site Supporters.  

These reports will allow you to place LIVE Athletic.net data in your own websites.  

So far, we've created embeddable District/League Performance Lists and team calendars.  We anticipate creating more of these embeddable reports in the future.

To embed a Performance List, go to the report for any division you are in, such as:
http://www.athletic.net/TrackAndField/Division/Top.aspx?DivID=15963 

You'll find the embed link at the very bottom of the report.

Here's an example of this report with custom styling on the Northwest Athletic Conference website:
http://www.nwcathletics.com/index.php?page=3680&school=0&sport=7&tab=1 

To embed your team calendar, go to your team homepage, and look for the 'Embed' link at the bottom right of the calendar box.

StarNote: these embeddable reports are only available to Site Supporters.Star

Let us know if you have questions on these reports!

Yes, the embedded reports will be available soon for Cross Country.

I noticed that you have the calendar embedded on your school's website for the HS.  Have you used this feature elsewhere (just curious as to how it is working out)?  If you have any suggestions, feel free to let us know.

Thanks!

I've not added it anywhere else yet but will add it to other landon related sites in the future.

Great!

Just a heads up to all, the Performance Lists are embeddable for XC as well now, too!  Look for a link at the bottom of any list (for divisions you are a part of).

I like it!  Question, can I do it just for my school as opposed to a division?

Feedback, I don't like the grade between the place and the name ... just confusing to the eye.  I wonder if it shouldn't have the grade after the name and maybe in parenthesis or something just to stand out better?

Here is use for an old feature of Athletic.net.  When typing my last meet summary I hyperlinked the profile of the athlete with his name.  I also hyperlinked other schools and meets.  Take a look:  http://www.landon.net/page.cfm?p=1435&teamID=37&event=1028&show=recap .

I'm going to try to get more reports embeddable in the next week or two.  Candidates for XC would be the 'Team' report, the 'Team Records' report, and the athlete profiles.

I'll take a look at this, and see if there is a better way to display it.  Thanks!

We've just made two new embeddable reports live for Site Supporters: 

the Team report:
http://www.athletic.net/CrossCountry/Team.aspx?SchoolID=1

and the Team Records:
http://www.athletic.net/CrossCountry/TeamRecords.aspx?SchoolID=1

Look for the embed links at the bottom of the report.

Enjoy!  If you have questions about embedding these reports on your site, feel free to ask us.

We are playing with changing the grade position.  The new meet report shows one possible location:
http://www.athletic.net/CrossCountry/Results/Meet2.aspx?Meet=19913#1 

Thanks for the feedback!
