Advancement.
District Meet to Regional Meet. The top four (4) marks in each event at the district meet automatically qualify for the region meet. Automatic qualifying athletes are not eligible to complete a "Declaration of Non-Consideration". The next eight (8) best marks established at sanctioned qualifying meets during the regular season in each region not automatically qualifying by place at the district meet in each event will qualify for the region meet. District meets may also be considered qualifying meets provided the meet is sanctioned and meets all requirements thereof. These qualifiers will be known as "at-large bids". The at-large qualifying bids, once announced, are final.
Declaration of Non-Consideration. There may be a situation in which an athlete/coach does not want to be considered to receive an at-large bid. The coach must complete the "Declaration of Non-Consideration" form that will be available on Home Campus. If this form is not received by the listed deadline (located on Home Campus), then all athletes receiving at-large bids must compete at the region meet. All athletes receiving automatic qualifiers for the region meet must compete. Automatic qualifying athletes are not eligible to complete a "Declaration of
Non-Consideration".

All field event qualifying marks not measured in metrics will be seeded with no mark at the state meet. Any marks not measured and recorded in metrics shall be ineligible for at-large advancement.
AP 4.14.1.1.1.4 Transporting Javelins. Javelins must be transported in a case or capped bag (at both ends) at all meets except during the javelin competition to ensure safety of athletes, coaches, and spectators.
