Qualifying for the State Meet:
In all running events, the throws, and the long jump, the top 2 finishers from our region will automatically qualify for the state meet. 8 additional qualifiers from all around the state, in each of these events will also qualify that had the best performances from all the regions of those athletes that did not automatically qualify.
In the high jump and pole vault the top 4 finishers will automatically qualify along with anyone that meets a pre-determined standard that will be announced by the state games committee.
There is a 3rd way that a relay team or individual might qualify. If there are not 16 qualifiers in a particular event, the WVSSAC will go through the regional results to fill up the 16 slots. This happens when a regional or more than one regional has few or no entrants in a given event. This kind of thing often happens in Class A .
