Minimum standards to qualify for Varsity, JV, or Frosh/Soph League Prelims Meet

All Athletes will be held to League Qualifying Standards for the Spring 2024 Season
To be considered for the League Prelims Meet, an athlete must meet the minimum Coastal Canyon League Qualification Standard time/mark in an event, at a League Meet or in an Invitational. Once the qualification standard has been met, for the level an athlete would like to compete in (ie: Varsity, Jr. Varsity or Frosh/Soph), they will be entered into the level/event for League Preliminaries.
An athlete cannot compete in multiple levels at a dual meet (ie: Varsity and JV in one meet). An athlete cannot compete in multiple levels at League Preliminaries and Finals (Prelims and Finals are viewed as one meet).
League meets, most Invitationals and CIF Championship meets include the following events:
