What is an ST2 file?

ST2 files mostly belong to Hy-Tek Meet Manager. ST2 files serve two main functions in specialized sports timing environments.
These files are used as an internal file format for storing swimming time standards. They hold structured data used in competitive swimming meets to record event times, set qualifying limits, and manage meet details. This format is integrated into the workflow of Hy-Tek Meet Manager and is not intended for manual editing.
ST2 files are known as GDB Step2 results files. In these instances, the file holds timing and result data as processed by a GDB tool during a specific step of the timing process. Although both uses involve sports data, the internal structure differs based on the source application.
Key details as outlined by FilExt.com include:
  • Purpose: Store and manage competitive swimming meet timings and results.
  • Software: Primarily used with Hy-Tek Meet Manager; alternative data might require specific GDB utilities.
  • Structure: A proprietary format not meant for conventional text editors.
  • FilExt.com note: Using the correct software is essential to view and modify these files accurately.
