Welcome

All athletes who are 8th grade and under are eligible to compete. Athletes can compete as part of a school team, club team, or unattached. 

The top six finishers in all events will be named to the All-State team. They will receive a medal as well. At the conclusion of the meet, team trophies will be awarded to the top club teams and top school teams based on total points. 

Individual Awards will be available just past the high jump pit near the entrance to the team camp field. The 4x8 and early field event awards will be given at 12 noon with all other awards being given out 30 minutes after each event. Please make sure your athletes are in the awards area for when they start. 

This meet will use standard track & field scoring: 10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1. Please note that "School" teams and "Club" teams will be scored separately at the conclusion of the meet. 

Packet pickup will be located next to the front entrance for the track facility. This station will open roughly two hours prior to the first event. You will need to hand in your team's USATF waiver and payment if you did not pay online. 

You can access the USATF Waiver right here. Please print this out and sign it with the athlete or team information filled in. You can skip the bib number. 

The fee is $10 per individual entry and $40 per relay entry. These fees are entry fees meaning they are final and due once registration closes. We do not allow refunds for scratching an event after registration closes. If one athlete is entered in three events the fee would be $30. 

If your team is paying via check, they can make the check out to "VA Middle School States" and mail it to PO Box 14512 Richmond, VA 23221

In accordance with USATF rules, both boys and girls will run the 100mH. The girls hurdles will be at 30" (lowest height) and the boys hurdles will be two clicks up at 36" (the middle height). In the 300m Hurdles the hurdles will be at 30" (lowest height) for both boys and girls. 

In accordance with USATF rules, the discus weight is 1KG for both boys and girls while the shot put weight is 4KG for boys and 6LBS for girls. 

Opening heights are 4-4 for girls and 5-0 for boys.

Athletes are limited to three running events. Athletes may enter as many field events as they would like. This limit includes relays. 

Teams are permitted to bring multiple relay teams but please note that just one relay team may score team points. 

School teams and club teams will be scored separately, scoring the top 8 for each event. Only the top six will be all-state from the overall result but for team scoring purposes, we will be going 8 deep for schools and up to 8 deep for clubs when scoring. A school team's score or club team's score in an event does not displace the other. There will be two first places where there is a scorer from both. 

There will be a virtual coaches meeting at 7:00pm on Wednesday May 20th. The link is here: Coaches Meeting Link
