The State Qualifying Meets are currently scheduled to run on Thursday, May 9th, for all classes and for both the boys and girls.

Class 1A will just be the top place winner in each event plus the next 14 best performances statewide. If a tie happens, the highest qualifying meet place winner will be the qualifier.
