Selection Procedures

  • The 2008 NACAC Under-23 team will be chosen based upon the June 5, 2008 USATF performance rank order list for all age-eligible athletes.
  • Based on NACAC regulations, age-eligible athletes must be 20, 21, or 22 by December 31, 2008 (born in 1986, 1987, or 1988).
  • While it is expected that most of the qualifying U.S. athletes will be collegiate athletes, open athletes who are age-eligible (20, 21, or 22) could also be selected.
  • Athletes must have a valid U.S. passport at the time of being confirmed for the team.
  • Two athletes per event will be eligible to compete on the NACAC Under-23 Team provided they meet the NACAC Under-23 qualifying standards.
  • Beginning June 5, USATF will be contacting college coaches, agents, or athletes to determine their eligibility and interest in being a member of the team.
  • Coaches or athletes may contact USATF at either 317-713-4673 or 317-713-4669 to provide information and/or sign up for the team.
