CHSAA UPDATE ON WEEK 12 MEETS:
Effective Immediately: Allow one qualifying meet on the 12th week prior to state whether it is a league meet or invitational. Teams/programs WILL be allowed to split and send athletes to different locations during the last week prior to state BUT ATHLETES MAY ONLY COMPETE IN ONE QUALIFYING MEET ON THE 12TH WEEK PRIOR TO STATE, WHETHER IT IS A LEAGUE MEET OR INVITIATONAL . The meet would fall between Monday and Saturday of the week before state. The total number of meets allowed (qualifying or non-qualifying) during the season would remain the same at 12 including the league meet. The format for league meets (number of entries, time schedule, number of days, etc.) is at the discretion of the site host. This proposed change would take effect immediately for implementation during the 2017 track and field season.
