Entry Standards.
Category A:
Open and Under 20 athletes who have thrown a national qualifier. If there are more than 6 open athletes who have thrown a national qualifying standard, seasons bests (from 01/01/2024) will determine who makes the start list.
Category B:
In the regular case in which a field is not filled through the Category A requirements, the Category B standard is put in place to decide which athletes make up the field. This will be based on the % of the seasons best (from 01/01/2024) when compared to the national qualifying standard for their age group. If an athlete has not reached at least 75% of the national qualifying standard for an event, they will be ineligible to compete during these throwers’ competitions.
Warm Up:
Shot Put & Hammer Throwers will have warm up throws before commencing competition. Number of Warm Up throws will be detemrined by officials. Please take caution of fellow athletes and implements.
Shot Put:
We have taken over the standard 12 entries, due to the high demand of entries prior to Nationals. Field size will increase from 12 to 16. All competitors will recieve 6 throws in competition.
