🚨🚨🚨 @nsaf_track announced on Thursday that it will implement state team scoring competition at the Nike Indoor Nationals. For the first time ever, the 26 Championship and Club events at Nike Indoor Nationals will be scored by state, transforming the meet into a true nationwide competition. The event will work like a traditional meet, with each competitor linked to their state and scoring points if they finish in the top eight. The details of the scoring follow: - Top 8 finishers in each scoring event earn points for their state - Points distribution: 10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1 - 26 events per gender, plus the Mixed 4x400m, contribute to the standings - All point contributors to the winning state will earn a prize. To conclude the meet, a concept between Cooper Lutkenhaus and Caden Leonard have put together the C&C State Distance Medley Relay. The criteria: - Athletes must all represent the same state - In-state rivals become teammates, racing for collective pride - Accepted teams will receive a state-branded Nike kit - The top-13 teams per gender will be accepted and notified by March 5th
