All awards (including Masters travel reimbursement) will be given out at the Ohio Association semi annual members meeting on September 22, 2019.

Grand Prix Scoring:

Only athletes who are 2019 USA Track & Field Ohio Association members prior to the meet will be scored in each respective meet.

The scoring system will be the 10-point track and field scoring system providing 10 points for first place to 1 point for eighth place (10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1).

Scoring will be based on actual place. Non-Ohio Association members and Ohio Association athletes without a 2019 membership will not be displaced but will not earn points.
