AT LARGE ENTRY MARKS TO THE STATE MEET HAL HARKNESS
ATHLETES WHO ACHIEVE THE FOLLOWING MARKS IN THE SECTION FINALS NEXT YEAR BUT DO NOT EARN ONE OF THE SPOTS THAT THE SECTION IS GIVEN TO GO TO THE STATE MEET WILL ADVANCE ANYWAY IF THEY CAN ACHIEVE THE FOLLOWING EFFORTS IN THEIR SECTION FINALS.
IT IS HOPED THAT SECTIONS WILL MAKE EFFORTS TO GIVE ATHLETES EVERY CHANCE TO SECURE THE FOLLOWING MARKS BY CREATING CONDITIONS WHERE TOP EFFORTS ARE POSSIBLE. HEAT FOR DISTANCE RUNNERS AND WIND CONDITIONS IN SOME SPRINTS AND JUMPS AT SECTION FINAL FACILITIES APPEAR LESS THAN WHAT THEY COULD BE. THIS SITUATION PUTS THOSE WHO LOSE CONTACT IN AN EVENT WITH THE AUTOMATIC QUALIFIERS IN A DIFFERENT PSYCHOLOGICAL LIGHT, AND OBVIOUSLY THE PACING IN DISTANCE EVENTS WILL BE QUITE COMPETITIVE AS SOME SENSE IT IS A "GO FOR BROKE" SITUATION. THE OLD DAYS OF A PACK THAT GRADUALLY DROPS OFF TO THE NUMBER OF A SECTION'S QUALIFIERS IN THE DISTANCES ARE PROBABLY GONE AS PLACES A BIT BACK IN THE PACK MAY BE ABLE TO MOVE ON ON TIME.
The following are the 2001 "At-Large"
marks for entry into the State Meet. Girls
