Congratulations! You have been invited to the Arizona Meet of Champions, where you will compete against the top three individuals in your event from each division of the Arizona State Championships along with the top 20 of the entire combined state rankings regardless of division.

Who: We want State Champions and the next two places from all classes or divisions, but we also want a STRONG field. So, if an athlete is among the top 20 of the state all classifications combined, plan on the MOC as your next event after the state track meet. This includes relays. The exception is the girls and boys pole vault. Only State Champions and any girl in the state that has cleared 106 or any boy that has cleared 140 are invited. The girls opening height is 100 and the boys opening height is 136 .

A featured event this year will be the boys and girls 3200m run. This emphasis is to help a long distance athlete/coach choose to register for the 3200m rather than the 1600m if they want to only compete in one race, and they want to be in with the top distance runners from 2017.

Events: We will have all Arizona running events including the relays and all field events.

Arizona Meet of Champions has already been created in the site and you will find it when searching for May 11th meets in Arizona. Please do not create the meet again.

The Meet of Champions (MOC) is an AIA/USATF Sanctioned Event--a continuation of the Luke-Greenway Meet of Champions which was held from the 1950's to 2002. The aim is to provide a forum at which the best athletes from each state meet compete in a head-to-head finals only competition. Athletes who won their event or placed top three at each of the state meet divisions are automatically eligible for entry into the MOC. The next top twenty performances in the state combined all classifications complete the rest of the field of athletes.

*Track event athletes must check in to the Finish Line Tent 20 minutes prior to the race; field event check-in is at the competition site, 30 minutes prior to start of event.
