2026 Post-Season Qualifying Standards
Varsity Boys T&F: District 9 AAA Qualifying Times/Distances
Because we have moved to the AAA level, there are fewer teams involved, and therefore no standards to achieve in order to enter athletes into the District 9AAA Championships. We are allowed to enter 3 athletes per event regardless of their top performance.
However, the times/distances/heights listed in the first column below are the standards required to compete in the District 9AA Track & Field championship meet, and can be used as a guide to the level of performance that is expected of a championship-caliber athlete.
