    I need a list of qualifying times; emerging elite and championship. Checked their website, no luck. A link or actual list would be great.

    Its on their website and has been for some time. Click the New Balance Link and then click 'Official web site'. The entry guidelines and schedule of events will be listed to the right side to click and view.

    I previously went through, copied and merged all the distance events into one spread sheet but I did not do every event.

    I've tried contacting them about getting my 9th grader into the freshmen mile. It was closed at 30 and when he tried, there were no more spots. Now, I get it, it's closed. However, he had the top time in NC for all 9th graders and the meet is here. Seems like he could get a little love to represent the state.

    They haven't even contacted me back. I've sent 3 emails.

    I believe they took 34 for the Freshman Mile @ Indoors this year, including one that was a late entry past the posting of the heat sheets. My advice is to keep trying.

    I assume you are talking about Ben. My son placed second to Ben in the '09 USATF JO XC Regionals in Spartanburg, SC. They struck up friendship at that time, and reconnected at McAlpine during the FL age group races. Ben seems like a really good kid and an exceptional runner. I hope your efforts are successful, and Ryan & Ben can reconnect in Greensboro in a couple weeks.
