Meet Information

1st annual Virginia High School Indoor Track & Field
MEET OF CHAMPIONS

Saturday, March 8th, 2014
Boo Williams Sportsplex Hampton, VA
Hosted by MileStat.com & Atlantic Coast Timing


Purpose of Meet: With the new 6 classification system, the competition level at our state championships is now watered down and we will not get the opportunity to see as many of the states best facing off in their final meets of the season. This meet aims to bring the best of Virginia together at seasons end when all athletes and relays are in peak performance to find out who is truly the champions of all champions in the state!

Eligibility Requirements: Must be an eligible and competing track & field athlete at a Virginia high school during the 2013-2014 school year.

Sanctioning Rules: The meet will be sanctioned and have liability insurance through the USATF. Athletes are not required to have USATF membership. This is not a VHSL or NFHS sanctioned/sponsored event. All athletes in individual events will be competing as unattached individuals with their hometowns as designations. All relays will be competing under Track Club name affiliations from their hometowns as designations. No different than post-season rules that have applied and still apply for HS teams & athletes who continue their seasons competing at indoor nationals, outdoor nationals, Foot Locker South, and NXN Southeast annually.

In the event that an athlete or two ahead of them is a last scratch in the week from the meet or on race-day, those alternates would be notified and have the opportunity to be added late to the event to compete. Understand that is by no means a guarantee that will occur and a competition opportunity will open up, but at least providing a window and process of opportunity.
