Masters Application Information

Men and women age 40 and up who are U.S. citizens may apply to compete in the masters men's 200m or masters women's 200m as part of the USATF Masters Invitational Program. 

You must be a 2006 USATF member to compete in the meet.  If you do not have a 2006 membership, please complete a membership application first.  You must also be a U.S. citizen and meet the qualifying standards.

Qualifying Standards

To apply for entry into masters invitational events, you must have met the following standards during the 2005 or 2006 seasons.

Application Deadline and Entry Fee

The application deadline is 2/2/2005 at 6:00 p.m. PT. If selected (see the "Process" below), you must pay the entry fee of $25, in cash or by check, at packet pick-up.

Application Process

• Athletes interested in competing must submit an Application Form before the entry deadline.
• Completion of an Application Form does NOT mean an athlete is entered in the meet.
• USATF will take applications that meet the time standard in each 10-year age group. Based on the athletes who respond, USATF will age-grade the field for each 10-year age group and see which 10-year age group has the most competitive field. At least 8 entries per age group must be received for a specific age group to be considered. The field size will be 6, and 2 alternates will be designated.
• Athletes will be notified of their selection and will be expected to pay their entry fee at packet pick-up.
• There will be no travel money available to athletes for this event.
