Track & Field

To compete at the National Senior Games, you must achieve one of the following at a State Senior Games the year before the National Senior Games:

• Place in the top four in your specific event and age group. You are eligible to enter as many events as you qualify for.
• Hit the minimum performance standard (MPS) for your event and age group, regardless of your final placement.
• Limited event qualification: If your state does not offer pole vault, you can qualify by submitting proof that you met the pole vault standard at a sanctioned competition the year before Nationals.

For all the details, including minimum performance standards, check the full National Senior Games Rulebook.
