Cambridgeshire team selection for CAU Inter Counties
The County Championships will be the main basis for team selection.
- There can be 8 athletes in each age group/gender team (9 for seniors).
- For U14, U16, and U18 age groups, the first 6 finishers at the Championships are guaranteed selection. Remaining team members will be chosen from 7th/8th finishers and athletes with valid reasons for absence.
- U20s competing at the Championships will be strongly considered, but must be of a suitable standard for Inter Counties level. U20s not competing at the Championships may also be considered if places are available.
- Seniors will be selected using the same approach as U14–U18.
All participants, athletes and support personnel are bound by the UKA Anti-Doping Rules, which apply for 12 months from the date of entry, regardless of nationality or residence.
Results
Live individual results will be displayed online at Sublime Timing Results. Team results will be made available on the day for the award of medals, with full team results published online after the event.
