Qualifying Guidelines
- All qualifying performances for running events must be made on indoor tracks. No allowances
are provided for altitude or for indoor facilities of differing size, bank 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 that prescribe to or exceed USATF
rules of competition
- events at collegiate meets that prescribe to or exceed USATF rules of
competition, or
- high school meets, except dual and triangular meets, that prescribe to
or exceed NFHS rules of competition.
- meets or events that meet a minimum for competitiveness set by the
Chair of the Sport Committee and determined to be valid by the USATF
staff member responsible for verification.
- Indoor qualifying standards must be attained or or after the second
Saturday in November of the calendar year prior to the Championship through
the Sunday in the current calendar year just prior to the Championship.
- Fully automatic timing (F.A.T.) is the only method of timing acceptable
for qualifying marks for events equal to or shorter than 400 meters.
- A manual time may be used for qualifying for events of 800 meters and
longer only if no F.A.T. qualifying time exists for the race during the
qualifying period. A manual time may not supersede any F.A.T. qualifying
time for an event. Qualifying manual times, for eligible events, not already
listed, are always the
F.A.T. qualifying time without the last zero for men and the F.A.T
qualifying time minus 0.14 for women. Manual times will be converted for
seeding purposes using USATF Rule 76.
- Times submitted in hundredths of a second must be F.A.T. times.
- All performances are subject to verification.
The Sport Committee Chair will adjust the standards, where
necessary, 45 days prior to the competition, based on received entries at
that time. Therefore, early submission of an entry close to the standard is
advised.
An athlete who has represented the USA in the immediate past IAAF Senior
World Cross-Country Championships and who has not met the entry standard for
the indoor championships may appeal to the Sport Chair to gain entry into
the Championships. The athlete must Enter the meet and Declare their intent
to complete
