Criteria for a Meet/Event to be acceptable for qualifying for USATF Indoor National Championships
In order for a mark(s) from a meet or single event to be accepted for qualifying for the USATF Indoor Championships AND for USATF to be able to verify to the IAAF and various track & field ranking agencies the validity of the mark(s) for IAAF World Championships qualifying purposes, the following criteria apply:
*Meets that are last-chance in nature, or not on an organization’s calendar of events, must be reported to USATF at [duffy.mahoney@usatf.org] or (317-713-4673) not later than three full weeks from the first day/date of competition of those Championships. Doing so will permit the USATF staff member, as designated by the Sports Committee Chairs, to review the proposed meet/event. If the meet/event were to be approved, this would allow for sufficient time to disseminate meet information to as many interested competitors as possible. Failure to adhere to this protocol will likely result in the performance(s) being disallowed for qualifying purposes. Go to Top
