ENTRIES

To be eligible to compete in the NCISAA state meet,each team, team member, and individual entry must compete in a minimum of 4 meets on 4 separate dates during the current season.  Athletes may compete in a total of 4 events.  Each school may enter a maximum of 3 competitors in each event.  FOR THE 3A MEET, each competitor must meet the qualifying standard.  Qualifying standards must be earned during the regular season of the current school year to be eligible for state competition.  A QUALIFIED ENTRY is one of the top three entries a 3A school submits meeting the qualifying standards.  (Any 3A school is permitted three Qualified Entries per event.)  A 3A NON- QUALIFIED ENTRY is the one entry a school is allowed per event if the qualifying standard is not met by any other team member in that event.  Once a school enters a qualifier in a particular event, all other entries by that school must be qualifiers in that event.  A school may enter only one relay team per relay event.  No late entry will be accepted after NOON on the Tuesday prior to the meet.

1A/2A ON-LINE ENTRIES are not required to meet qualifying standards.  Entries should be made on line using Direct Athletics at www.directathletics.com.  On-line entries are free. Each school is expected to have verification of the performances they submit.  This verification may include meet results or email documentation from meet directors.  A copy of each team’s verifications will be kept by the meet director at a convenient location.  Any coach wishing to inquire about an entry performance may check the documentation notebook at the meet site.  Only after checking the notebook should that coach bring an issue to the meet director.  An entry performance, either relay or individual, which cannot be verified will be listed as “NO TIME: and seeded accordingly.

 

3A ON-LINE ENTRIES (Does not apply to 1A/2A teams).  Qualifying entries should be made on line using Direct Athletics at www.directathletics.com. Only qualified entries may be entered at the Direct Athletics web site.  On line entries are free, and you can make changes and updates until the entry deadline: 8:00 May 12, 2009.   NON-QUALIFIED ENTRIES MUST BE EMAILED TO THE MEET DIRECTOR BY THE ENTRY DEADLINE.  A team will consist of one or more participants.  Placement points will be given in exact team member order.  Each team, team member, and individual entry must have competed in a minimum of 4 meets on 4 separate dates during the regular season.

 

ROTATION

MEET INFORMATION:  The meet director will post all meet information on the NCISAA web site at www.ncisaa.org.  Qualifying times, distances, and heights for 3A teams will be listed on the NCISAA web site.  3A qualifiers are also listed in the Handbook.  The entries must have accurate measurements and times in order to facilitate the seeding of flights and heats.  Meet directors will inform coaches of proper entry procedures and how/when to make changes.

 

MEET RULES

National High School Federation rules will cover any situations not specifically covered in these regulations.

 

TRIALS:  Trials will be held on Friday in boys' and girls' hurdles, boys' and girls' 100 meter, and boys' and girls' 200 and 400 meter.  The 3200 meter relays and 3200 meter finals will also be run on Friday for boys and girls.  The top 8 finishers (sprints and hurdles) will qualify for the finals and for team score. In the field events, the number of qualifiers for the finals will be one more than the n umber of places for team scoring.  Both running and field events will score the same number of places for team point (either 8 or 6 depending on the number of track lanes.)  If the meet is held on a 6 lane track, the top 6 finishers will qualify for the finals.

 

SCORING:   Boys' and girls' meets will be scored separately.  Points will be awarded as listed in National High School Federation rules according to number of teams entered in each meet.  The number of scoring places will be determined by the number of track lanes up to eight places.

 

JEWELRY:   Athletes are not permitted to wear jewelry during competition.  Watches are allowed to be worn.  The penalty for wearing jewelry is disqualification from that event.

2009 NCISAA STATE 3A TRACK QUALIFYING STANDARDS

The following standards are computed on a sliding scale using a four year average of the 14^th seeded times/distances/heights.  The Sport Chairs will be responsible for computing next year’s standards using the current year’s 14^th seeded entrants and forwarding those standards to the NCISAA Board of Managers before the summer meeting in June 2009.

 

Note concerning times of events: In order to minimize conflicts, it is hoped that the field events can be nearly completed before the running events begin. 

Athletes entered in two field events taking place simultaneously must be prepared to move back and forth between events.

 

Warm-ups for field events should be completed by the time the event is scheduled to begin.  Competition must begin at the designated time.

Running events should never be started before the designated time.
