Meet Information

Regional and State Track & Field Championship Qualifying Procedure

Regional Entry Deadline:

Regional entries must be done by the head coach of each school by Saturday, May 2, 2026, by 9:00 pm. It is

the coaches' responsibility to enter their athletes into their classification's regional championship meet on

ncmilesplit by the entry deadline.

Regional Entry qualifications and restrictions

There are no qualifying standards for regionals. We will accept the top 16 entries by mark in each event per

classification based off entries done by each school's head track head coach by the entry deadline. Only times

that are FAT will be accepted in the running events.

Coaches can enter up to (3) three athletes per event for

their school. Even though coaches can enter up to three athletes per event coaches should use their best

judgement when entering their athletes into the regional meet. Remember, we are only accepting the top 16

entries in each event per regional classification.

What happens if there are ties making regional entries go over 16 qualifiers in an event?

In the events where ties occur at the qualifying mark (16th place), all tied athletes will be accepted into the

Regional meet up to a maximum field size of 24.

If accepting all tied athletes exceed 24 total entries, then none of the tied athletes at that mark will be

accepted, and only athletes above the tie will qualify.

How do I find out who has qualified for Regionals?

After the entry deadline, the meet director will download entries from ncmilesplit and cut the field to the top 16

entries in each event for each classification. An entry list will be posted on each regional's ncmilesplit meet

page, the NCHSAA website, and emailed to coaches by 9 am Sunday, May 3, 2026. Once the entry list has

been posted, coaches will have until 10:00 am Monday, May 4 to submit any late entry and scratch any

athletes. If any athletes are scratched, athletes who were just outside the top 16 will be moved up.

The final

list of meet qualifiers will be released by 11:00 am on May 4. Once the final list of qualifiers has been

posted, there will be NO MORE SCRATCHES WILL BE ALLOWED, that means athletes that are on the final

list of qualifiers must start any events they are in, if they do not start their event they will be disqualified for the

remainder of the regional meet..

How do athletes qualify for the NCHSAA State Track & Field Championships

1A-7A Classifications

Athletes that finish in the top four (4) of their event at their regional championship meet will automatically

qualify for the NCHSAA Track & Field State Championship Meet. If there are ties for 4th place, ties must be

broken for 4th place with the proper tie breaking procedure for that event at the regional meet.

Wildcard qualifiers: We will also take the next four (4) best times/marks in each event across all three regions

combined (East, Central, and West) from athletes that did not finish in the top four of their event at their

regional championship meet. Athletes must have competed at the regional meet and finished outside the top

four of their event at the regional meet.

In the event of ties for these wild card qualifying spots, the first tie breaker will be regional place finish in

their event (the higher the athletes placed in their region for their event). The second tie breaker will be

regional entry mark (i.e. season best).

The list of qualifiers for each state championships meet will be posted on each state meet

championship ncmilesplit meet page by Monday, May 11, 2026
