To keep our aggressive two-day meet schedule, we need your help more than ever! Please consider signing up for a shift. With the exception of USS Officials roles, every other job can be done with little to no training. Start now to find a friend and split a job for the weekend. We can guarantee we have never had too many volunteers!!
We are proud to be part of the Heartland Racing Series. A season-long circuit of short track speed skating open class races to develop passion and skills for racing.
The ISU "Zero False Starts" rule will apply to all Heartland races. Skaters are disqualified after one false start.
Required: Helmet, full finger gloves (preferably cut-proof), eye protection, long sleeves, knee pads, neck protection and shin guards must be worn by all participants.
Recommended: Full-body cut-resistant protection either integrated into the skin suit or separate.
Ohio Invitational is an Ability Meet and Heartland Racing Series. Skaters will be grouped according to their seed time, with consideration being given to the age of skaters in each group. Divisions may be mixed-gender.
Heartland - skaters ages 12 and older as of July 1, 2025, who meet the qualifying time standard of 1:48.0 for men and 1:58.0 for women in 1000 meters. The time standard must be from a sanctioned short track meet, from July 1, 2024, or later. If two groups are needed depending on registration, skaters will be roughly split 50/50 based on times to Heartland A and Heartland B. The ISU "Zero False Starts" rule will apply to all Heartland A and B races.
Ability - Skaters 11 and younger will compete in the Ability Division. Skaters ages 12 and older who do not meet the Heartland qualifying time standard will also compete in the Ability Division. Consideration will be given to the age of skaters in each group.
