Entry Information

In response to a number of questions from athletes and coaches, the beginning date of the qualifying period has been extended to May 1, 2002. This new date is over two months earlier than the previous date of July 5, 2002.

You must be a 2003 USATF member to enter the Championships.  If you do not have a 2003 membership, please complete a membership application first.  You must also be a U.S. citizen and meet the eligibility requirements and qualifying standards.
