Moving on to CIF:
To get into Divisional Prelims, you must be competing at the Varsity level and have to either
1. be Varsity League Champion,
2. get 2nd or 3rd at League Finals with the appropriate mark (see QUALIFYING STANDARDS - these change year to year)
3. get the "At Large Mark" at League Finals (see QUALIFYING STANDARDS - these change year to year)
4. get a "Wild Card" mark. For that, we have to check the Performance list the day after League Finals to see if we're top 10.
DIVISIONAL PRELIMINARIES INTO CHAMPIONSHIP FINALS - The nine (9) competitors with the best marks in each field event will qualify for the finals. In the running events, qualifying will be each heat winner plus the next fastest time to total nine (9) competitors advancing to the finals.
CHAMPIONSHIP FINALS INTO THE MASTERS MEET - The top nine (9) performances, regardless of division, will advance to the Masters Meet. The top twelve (12) performances in the 800, 1600, 3200 and all field events will advance to the Masters Meet.
