Here is the updated list of qualifiers for the middle school state championship. Remember that you have to hit one of the qualifying standards at a designated qualifying meet only. Qualifiers must still enter. See the State Championship Meet page for details.
Qualifying by place... We had a request on the forum that I think is a good one. In previous years, we had fewer qualifying meets and you could qualify by either running a qualifying time there OR by finishing in the top two. This year we wanted to give kids more chances to qualify and be sure to invite the top athletes. So we added more qualifying meets and announced you could no longer advanced by place. I am having a slight change of heart there... So I have decided to go with the poster's suggestion. In addition to qualifying by time at any of the qualifying meets, our "regional championship" meets will have an additional distinction in that we will allow the WINNER of each event to advance as well, regardless of time. Hopefully this gives us the best of both worlds.
One more thing... Before getting to the list of qualifiers, I wanted to mention one more thing. The Panhandle Regional Qualifier at Maclay had to be cancelled. In its place we will soon announce that the Panhandle Regional Championship is going to move to Ft. Walton Beach. This is probably a good thing anyway because there is a large base of middle school programs over there who had to travel a long way to Tallahassee for their closest qualifying meets. Tallahassee, meanwhile, has a number of qualifying meets. In addition to the previous Jesse Forbes and the upcoming Leon County Championship, Maclay will also host a free "mini-meet" that will also serve as a qualifier for some of the less commonly competed in events such as the triple jump and 200H. More details will be posted soon, but just wanted to make everyone aware.
