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).
