NCAA Releases Division I Qualifying Times For 2025 Championships
The NCAA has released its Division I qualifying standards for the 2024-25 season for both the men and women.
Both meets will be in Federal Way, Washington, in March.
The “A Standard” for individual events is calculated by using the three-year average of the eighth best time on the performance list unless the current “A Standard” is faster than the three-year average.
The “B Standard” for individual events is calculated by using the three-year average of the 125th best time on the performance list unless the current “B Standard” is faster than the three-year average.
The “Qualifying Standard” for relay events is calculated using the three-year average of the 16th best time on the championship finals performance list unless the current “Qualifying Standard” is faster than the three-year average.
The “Provisional Standard” for relay events is calculated using the three-year average of the 24th best time on the performance list unless the current “Provisional Standard” is faster than the three-year average.
