Our goal for this meet is to mirror as closely as possible the Division 3 National Championship meet.
- Only FAT Times achieved from January 1st, 2025 – Monday, March 24th, 2025 at 10pm will be accepted for qualifying mark. We will accept Hand Times for the 800, 1600, 3200, 4x400 and 4x800. You still must send meet information so we can verify the meet, athlete and time. All hand-times will have .24 seconds added to them. We will NOT take hand-times for anything less than the 800M because of inconsistent accuracy.
- Performances from AAU/USATF certified meets during that timeframe will be accepted.
- Teams can send as many individuals as qualify for individual events. An individual may compete in up to 4 events. However, each school can only qualify 1 team per relay event: so 1 team for the 4 x 200, 1 team for the 4 x 400, and 1 team for the 4 x 800. That is, each school can only be represented by 1 team per relay event.
