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.

On May 21st, an adjustment to the qualifying standards for the men's triple jump and men's high jump for the U.S. Senior Championships, was posted on the USATF web-site. However, this action took place inside the required 45-day window that is called for in USATF procedures governing the National Championships.

Consequently, this revision is being rescinded - with the standards returning to those approved at the USATF Annual Meeting and posted originally on the USATF National Championships web-site. The standards will revert to: 15.44 meters in the men's triple jump and 2.16 meters in the men's high jump.

Additional competitors, from those who have submitted entries, may be allowed to declare through petition to the Sport Committee Chair.

Standard (men) & "A" and "B" Standards (women)

Male athletes who attain the Standard and female athletes who attain the "A" Standard will automatically be included in the event.

Female athletes who have attained the "B" Standard will be allowed to declare, but will be notified if allowed to compete in order to fill an event for competitiveness. In general, the philosophy is to set the standards so that a maximum of 32 athletes will be entered in the 100, 200, 400 and 100 hurdles, 24 in the 800, 1500, steeplechase and 400 hurdles, 18 in the 5,000, 10,000 and 10km race walk, 18 in all field events and 20 in the heptathlon. The "B" Standard will be used only to fill the fields to the minimum size if not enough athletes have made the "A" Standard. For notification purposes, a current phone number must be provided during the declaration process.

Qualifying Guidelines for Championships in Non-Olympic Years

1. 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.
2. Qualifying marks must be made in accordance with USATF Rule 149 and verifiable in one of the following:
   1. USATF or IAAF sanctioned events which prescribe to or exceed USATF competition rules
   2. Events at collegiate meets which prescribe to or exceed USATF competition rules
   3. High school meets, but not dual or triangular meets.
   4. 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.
3. 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.
4. * 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.
5. ** A manual time may be used for qualifying in events with a double 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.
6. **Hand times will be accepted in events with a double asterisk.
7. The Men's 10,000m run event will be contested as a Final on time. If there is a need to run sections in this event, then all entered, qualified and declared athletes in the 10,000m run who have met the IAAF 2009 World Championships "A" or "B" standard will be seeded into the faster section.
8. The Men's 5,000m run event will be contested as a Final on time. If there is a need to run sections in this event, then all entered, qualified and declared athletes in the 5,000m run who have met the IAAF 2009 World Championships "A" or "B" standard will be seeded into the faster section.
