2012 NCAA Qualifying Information

Following the 2012 State Farm Missouri Valley Conference Outdoor Track & Field Championships, the conference’s elite student- athletes will participate in the NCAA Preliminary Championships with the goal of advancing to the 2012 NCAA Division I Outdoor Track & Field Championships. Jacksonville, Fla., will host the East preliminary round and Austin, Texas, will host the West preliminary round May 24-26. The NCAA Division I Outdoor Track & Field Championships take place June 6-9 at Drake Stadium in Des Moines, Iowa.

Qualification to the Preliminary Championship Competition of the Championships is based on the descending order list for the season, segregated by east and west sites, and prepared solely from the mandatory submission of meet results during the season and adhering to the qualifying regulations. For each individual event contested at each of the Preliminary Championship Competition, the top 48 declared student-athletes will be accepted into the competition. For each relay event contested at each of the Preliminary Championship Competition, the top 24 declared relay teams will be accepted into the competition.

The Heptathlon and Decathlon events are not contested at the Preliminary Championship Competition. Qualification to the championships in these two events is accomplished through a competitor’s position on the national descending order list. The top 24 declared student-athletes in each of these two events will be accepted into the national championships.

The championship qualifying procedure allows for a field size of 24 in all individual and relay events at the Final Championship Competition. Qualifying to the Final Championship Competition is accomplished through performance in the Preliminary Championship Competition at each site for events contested at those competitions. Twelve competitors from each individual event and 12 teams from each relay event advance from each Preliminary Championship Competition site to the Final Championship Competition. Qualification, through competition in an event at a Preliminary Championship Competition, is required to participate in that event at the Final Championship Competition.
