NCHSAA 6A West Regional 2026

COACHES' MEETING - 9:45AM.

MEET START TIME - 11:00am. Morning field events will be Girls high jump, long jump, and shot put; and Boys pole vault, long jump and discus. Prelims for hurdles, 100, and finals of 4x800 will be on rolling schedule beginning at 11:00am

Afternoon field events and all remaining running events will begin at 1:00pm. The time schedule for the afternoon running events will be published and we will not run more than five minutes ahead, unless the games committee determines that the schedule needs to be changed due to weather forecast.

ENTRY DEADLINE is Saturday, May 2, at 9:00pm. Performance list will be published no later than noon on Sunday, May 3. Coaches wishing to scratch athletes who were entered must send scratches to the meet director (david.honea@bcsemail.org) no later than 11:00am on Monday, May 4. The top 16 entries in each event after the scratch deadline will be accepted into the meet, and will be published by 9:00pm on Monday, May 4. NO SCRATCHES AFTER FINAL ACCEPTED ENTRIES ARE POSTED. There is no longer a regional scratch meeting on the day of the meet - athletes entered must start their events, or be DQ'd from any remaining events. Events count towards the athlete's limit of four even if they do not finish. COACHES: Please be sure you understand this change from the regional scratch rule that existed in earlier years.

RELAYS: Any four athletes on your roster can compete in a relay - you do not have to use the same athletes who achieved the qualifying mark, and you can make changes on the day of the meet from the athletes listed on the Milesplit entry. However, we strongly encourage you to include the four athletes most likely to run on your entry. The participating lineup on the relay card must be entered into the results, and this will facilitate quick processing of results.

STATE QUALIFYING: The top four finishers in each event qualify for the state championships, held Saturday May 16 at NC A&T. In addition, the next four best finishers from all regions will also qualify for state. These "wild card" qualifiers will be confirmed by the state meet director after results from all regionals have been processed.
