The Championships are open to girls and boys currently attending grades 7 through 9; no regional events or qualifying meets are required to participate. The meet offers individual and team competition. Only NLAA affiliated schools are eligible for the team awards. Students attending non-affiliated schools can participate in the competition and win individual awards.
All athletes will compete in a single open category, without regard to grade level.
Students may only represent/compete under the school where they are currently enrolled.
We encourage ambulatory throwers and runners to participate, and they will be integrated with all other participants.
