Notes
The respective 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.

 

"A" and "B" Standards

Athletes who attain the "A" Standard will automatically be qualified for the event.

Athletes who have attained the "B" Standard will be allowed to declare, but will be notified if they have been accepted into the Championships to compete in order to fill an event for competitiveness. The Sport Committee chair will make the final field size determination once declarations close. The "B" Standard may be used to fill the fields, in ranked order of those athletes who have entered and declared their intention to compete.  For notification purposes, a current phone number/e-mail address should be provided during the declaration process.

Qualifying Guidelines for Championships in Non-Olympic Years

1. All qualifying performances for running events may be made on an indoor or outdoor track for the outdoor championships. There are no allowances 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, or
   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 Thursday, June 24, 2010 through Sunday, June 19, 2011. 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 Saturday, January 2, 2010 through Sunday, June 19, 2011.
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.
