Registration Process

  • Add the meet to your athletic.net calendar. If registering as a part of a team, your coach must add Nike Outdoor Nationals to the team calendar. This must be done first to gain access to the registration page. 

  • Review BOY'S QUALIFYING STANDARDS, GIRLS QUALIFYING STANDARDS and ENTRY GUIDELINES.

  • Athletes must submit all entries under one single affiliation: High School, Club, or Unattached. If you plan to compete with a team, or on a relay, please submit an entry as either High School or Club, not Unattached. Switches from unattached to team attached will not be accommodated. If you have a separate team and unattached bios and you need to merge them, please follow THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
