Qualifying Rules: Championships June 5
a)Track Events :In the 80m hurdles, 100m, 200m, 300m, 800m, 4×100, and 1500m 2 flights (A,B) will qualify for the Championship Meet: Top 8 times will be entered into A flight, next 8 times will enter B flight.
3 alternates will also be named that should consider attending the Championship. 3 alternates will be listed for all running events so that coaches can alert those athletes to the possibility that they may compete if a lane is empty at the Finals. Once an athlete is entered into a heat, they may not run in a different heat.
b) Qualifiers for the 2000m and Boys Discus final on May 29th will be indicated in the results website.
c) 4×200 relay will be held as a timed final at the Championships only. Depending on the number of entries, age groups may be combined. Lanes will be randomly assigned.
d) Field Events: Top 12 qualify
e) School and individual Qualifying limits:
-Relays – - there is a maximum of 2 teams per school per category (4×200 and 4×100)
-A maximum 3 athletes per school will be allowed to compete in any (all) individual events
-individual athletes may qualify in a max of 3 individual events + 2 relays
** NOTE: it is poor practice to have students in 3 running events + relay (too physically demanding).
Many qualifiers have been dropping out (too many events?), so officials will enforce a rule: If an athlete “no shows” at an event for which they have been qualified for and entered into, they are disqualified from all other events.
If athletes wish to reduce their # of events on race day (sickness or other) they must start the race they are entered in, but they may choose not to finish it. This would not result in disqualification from future events that day.
