Commonwealth District Outdoor Track & Field Championship 2026

Stafford, VA

Meet Information

Three entries per event.

Entries must be completed by 9:00 pm three days before the original meet date of May 12, 2026. After this time entries will be closed. Please make sure results have been posted on Milestat before you do your entries.

Individuals are limited to 3 running events (unlimited field events) unless they are running the 3200 in which case they can only run 1 other event that day.

If a school would like to enter more than three per event we must have a verified district qualifying time, jump or distance for all athletes entered in the event. Example: BP wants to enter 5 athletes in the 100m. All 5 athletes must have the district standard All entries will be done on Milestat.

Please make sure you have all results from meets on Milestat. Any time or distance that cant be verified will result in NT for seeding purposes. No club or unattached time/marks will be accepted.

Make sure you understand the declaration rule. For example, you may enter an athlete in the 100, 200 and 4x100, if you scratch the athlete from the 200, they may still run the 4x100, but you cannot add them to another event. If you are unsure, please contact me.

However, if you enter an athlete in 4 running events planning on scratching later that will not work and the athlete will be deleted from the last event entered.
