Download: 2007 HANDBOOK AND RULES (not updated since 2007, but no significant changes to rules or qualifying)
Summary of Rules:
Sanction: The state meet will be sanctioned by the USATF. Teams or athletes competing do NOT need to be member of the USATF; however, we will be using the USATF rulebook as our guide, so coaches should be at least vaguely familiar with them.
Team Uniforms: Team uniforms WILL be allowed. Any school team competing whose school is a member of the FHSAA should be aware that they should NOT wear their school official uniforms. Alternate team attire should be worn; however, we will not be enforcing this. It is up to the coach to do so. FHSAA schools will violate FHSAA rules if they do not adhere to this.
Entries: There are no limits on the number of participants a club or team may enter in any one event. Athletes will be able to compete in up to FOUR events, including relays. There will not be minimum marks for Field events, as we want to encourage participation as much as possible in this meet.
Hurdles Heights: We will be following USATF Youth rules for the hurdle heights. The 100 Meter Hurdles will be set at 30 inches for girls and 33 inches for boys. The 200 Meter Hurldes will be set at 30 inches for both boys and girls.
Shot/Disc Weights: USATF Youth rules apply for implement weights. Discus is 1kg for both boys and girls. Shot is 4kg for boys and 6lbs. for girls.

Primary Qualifying Methods:
1) Finish in the top four of your event at the assigned regional qualifier.
2) Hit an auto-qualifying time at your regional qualifier.
Alternate Qualifying Methods:
3) FHSAA Exception: If you compete for a high school team and your FHSAA district, regional,
or state championship meet occurs within five days of your assigned regional qualifier, we will
accept your performance from your FHSAA meet if you hit an auto-qualifying standard.
4) No Event Exception: If your assigned regional qualifier will not be contesting your desiered
event, you may attend one of our other regional qualifying meets and qualify by means 1 or 2.
5) Appeal: If for some reason qualifying by the means mentioned creates an incredible hardship
or diservice to the athlete, an exception may be granted. This is reserved for outstanding
circumstances only. If granted, we may allow the athlete to compete at a different regional
qualifier than assigned or (extreme cases only) except an auto-qualifying time from another
meet of significant esteem (complete results and meet director contact info must be provided).
