Empire State Classic Advancement:    
This meet will also serve as the regional qualifier for the 2nd Annual Empire State Classic to be held Sunday, July 31, 2022. The Empire State Classic will be a scoring meet between the four USATF Associations of New York State. 
The Adirondack Association will enter 3 qualifiers of each gender per event. Athletes age 15+ are eligible if they meet at least one of the following criteria: 

• Anyone registered in an event as an Open Athlete
• Masters athlete that registers and competes as an Open athlete.
• 15-18 year old Youth athletes registered as Youth Athletes (note exception below for Shot, Discus and 110m hurdles)

​Note that Youth 15-18 athletes attempting to qualify for both the Empire State Classic and the Region 1 Championships should register as a Youth athlete, not an Open athlete….unless they are boys competing in the Shot Put, Discus or 110m hurdles.

• Specifically for shot put, discus throw and 110m hurdles, youth 15-18 male athletes that wish to compete for ESC qualification must register and compete as Open athletes using Open standards (e.g. 42” hurdles, Open implement weights).
  • Youth (15-18) male athletes have the option of registering for these events as both a Youth and/or and Open athlete. Athletes competing for ESC and Region 1 Championships in any of these 3 events should register for both the Open and Youth events, which are listed separately in the meet registration.

If a qualifying athlete elects not to participate in the Empire State Classic that spot will be offered to the #4, #5, etc. athlete until the spot is filled.
