ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

1. You must be a 2024 USATF member to enter the US Olympic Team Trials. If you do not have a 2024 membership, please complete a membership application first before attempting to enter the Championships (https://www.usatf.org/home/top-utility-nav-content/membership).
2. You must be a U.S. citizen and meet the eligibility requirements found in USATF Rule 1.1(a).
3. Athletes may qualify for the 2024 US Olympic Team Trials with marks from Indoor or Outdoor competitions. There will be no conversions of entry performances for any reason.
4. All entry performances must be legal marks that have been achieved at a USATF-sanctioned meet or at a meet listed on the World Athletics Calendar (https://worldathletics.org/competition/calendar-results) and be included in the World Athletics Toplists (https://worldathletics.org/records/toplists).
5. Marks must be achieved with electronic timing and legal wind readings (2.0m/s or under). On the World Athletics Toplists, you should select "Only Electronic" and "Only Regular" selected from the dropdown menus where applicable.
6. There are no provisions for conversions of entry performances for any reason, although for select events, there are alternate events marks that can be used for qualifying (see standards). For marks that do not meet the automatic standard, marks will be scored using WA Scoring Tables and accepted in descending order to the desired field size, respecting the minimum mark.  You may initially enter the Championships with a "NM" or "NT" and update your entry performance as needed.
7. Once the entry window has ended, entrants will no longer be able to update their entry performance. Please update all entry performances (attained by the qualifying deadline) by June 11, 2024 at 11:59pm PT. If you need to update your mark after this date, email stats@usatf.org.
8. Shoes used to achieve entry performances must be included in the World Athletics Approved Shoe List, found at https://worldathletics.org/about-iaaf/documents/technical-information. Athletes must provide the shoe model used in achieving the entry performance on the entry blank.
9. USATF Rule 8 entrants shall enter as "NM" or "NT" if a valid entry performance is not available.
10. Once properly entered, all athletes must complete the declaration process to affirm whether that athlete will or will not compete in each event they have entered.
