    Payment for entries must be paid at the time of declaration of your athlete(s) and/or relay(s).  Payment will be processed by Direct Athletics (this was new for 2023).  If your athlete(s) or relay(s) do not make the performance list for the Nike HSR Finals a refund will be given within 3-5 business days to the card of payment by Direct Athletics. There will be no payment accepted at the Nike HSR Finals.
  • Schools may enter more than 2 athletes in individual events. All athletes must meet the qualifying standard. Schools are limited to 1 team per relay event.
  • Pole vault & high jump entry will be limited to top 18 + ties. If there is a natural break at 15, that will be the field. All other events will be top 24.  After declarations are complete, if the athletes/relay teams fall into the top 24 (18 for HJ and PV) that were declared, they will be entered into the HSR Finals.  We will go as deep into the list as needed to get 24 declared athletes/relay teams per event per class.
  • We recommend that coaches declare all athletes wanting to participate regardless of if they are listed in the top 24.  This will ensure that no one is left out from your team.  Many of the top 24 maybe on spring break, competing in other events at the meet or just choose not to compete, the top 24 declared athletes/relay teams will be entered in each event.
  • Only athletes and relay teams that have been declared Sunday or Monday by their coaches at directathletics.com will be eligible for consideration to compete in the Nike HSR Finals.
