Certification of Qualifying Results

The official results must be certified by the meet referee and sent to the NMAA office within a week of the conclusion of the meet.
It is the responsibility of the coach to submit qualification information for his/her athletes to the designated NMAA database. No other forms of submissions will be accepted. Member schools have seven (7) calendar days to post qualifying marks established at qualifying meets.
