Meet Information

2021 TMSAA Sectional Championships

Coaches please READ BEFORE ENTERING MEET

Deadline for entries is Thursday, 4/29/21 at 10:00 pm.

We will be hosting both the A and AA divisions on the same day and at the same times. Please be aware and make sure you enter your school in the correct division. Also be sure to look over the schedule and be able to tell your athletes and parents exactly when your athletes will compete. We will have multiple high jump pits, runways/sand pits, throwing circles, being utilized at the same time.  We will also run the running events so that one division will follow the other division as we proceed through the order of events. You can use the following link to see if you are in the correct Section:

TMSAA Classification

Before entering you will need to know: (1) That you are in this Section. (2) Are you a small "A" school, or are you a large "AA" school? (3) Do you know which division to enter based on this information?

There should be 2 divisions listed as possibilities for entry into this meet: A - Small School and AA - Large School.  Please make sure you choose correctly.

According to TMSAA rules, each school is allowed to enter up to 3 athletes per event, and 1 relay team for each relay. Top 4 individuals in each event and the Top 4 relay teams will advance to the TMSAA State Championships to be held at Austin Peay University! Good Luck to all!!!

It is imperative that coaches be honest and accurate when turning in athletes times and performances. This is a championship meet and needs to be competed as one.



Any scratches that need to be made for the running events should be done at the coaches' meeting at 10:15 am.  Scratches for field events can be made at the event site.  No additions will be allowed.



We will be sending out assignments for coaches to work field events, exchange zones, etc. once we get the registration closer to completion, so we know who is coming.  The expectation is if you are assigned a field event, you work it.  Each school will be expected to provide one coach for the field event to which they have been assigned.
