Notes
The Sport Committee Chair may adjust the standards, where necessary,
forty-five days prior to the competition, based on received entries at that
time. Therefore, early submission of an entry close to the standards is
advised. Additional competitors, from those who have submitted entries,
may be allowed to declare through petition to the Sport Committee Chair.
Qualifying Guidelines for Championships
in Non-Olympic Years
- All qualifying performances for running events must be made on an indoor
or outdoor track for the outdoor championships. No allowances are provided
for altitude, nor for indoor facilities of differing size, banking or other
configuration.
- Qualifying marks must be made in accordance with USATF Rule 149 and
verifiable in one of the following:
- USATF or IAAF sanctioned events which prescribe to or exceed USATF
competition rules
- Events at collegiate meets which prescribe to or exceed USATF
competition rules
- High school meets, but not dual or triangular meets.
- Meets or events which meet a minimum for competitiveness set by the
Chair of the Sport Committee and determined to be valid by the USATF
National Office staff member responsible for verification.
- This is an annual Championship which requires qualification within a
specific period of time.
Qualifying marks from outdoor competitions must be attained on or after the
first day of competition of the National Championship, or Olympic qualifying
meet, during the previous calendar year through the Sunday in the current
calendar year just prior to the Championship. Qualifying marks from indoor
competitions must be attained within the same time period. Qualifying marks
for the 10,000-meters, Race Walk, and Combined Events must be attained on or
after the first Saturday in January of the calendar year prior to the
Championship through the Sunday in the current calendar year just prior to
the Championship.
- * F.A.T. is the only method of timing acceptable for qualifying marks
for events listed with an asterisk. Times submitted in hundredths of a
second, must be fully automatic times.
- A manual time may be used for qualifying in events without an asterisk,
only if no fully automatic qualifying time exists for the individual in that
event during the qualifying period. A manual time may not supersede any
fully automatic qualifying time for an event. Qualifying manual times, for
eligible events, not already listed, are always the FAT qualifying time
without the last zero. Manual times will be converted for seeding purposes
using USATF Rule 76. Manual times are listed in parenthesis.
- For the Junior Championship, for the 5,000m, 10,000m and 3,000m
steeplechase events, petitions will be accepted for entry into these events
using qualifying times from alternate distances (e.g. Use of a 1500m
qualifying time for a petition to run the 5,000m).
