Copyright © 2008 National Junior Athletic League. All rights reserved
The Athletics Weekly Grand Prix is the individual athletes competition, open to all who compete in the League, and the progress of the athlete’s team performance is of no consequence whatsoever.
Any athlete who competes in three or more events (excluding relays) at a National Junior Athletic League fixture is eligible. This will also include you competing on a non-scoring event providing you have competed in two individual scoring events.
Entry to the Grand Prix can be made by an athlete or team manager on behalf of the athletes. Just fill in your top 3 performances from each of the 4 fixtures and submit these performances to the League Secretary.
Download and save to your computer the Grand Prix application form.
Once you have filled in the entry form, send the form within 7 days of the fixture (48 hours for the last fixture of the season) to the League Secretary for scoring. The form can be emailed, faxed or by post.
Alternatively you can email your details using the link on the contacts page of this web site or by the email address below.
Scoring of each performance will be against the I.A.A.F. tables and ranking the overall performance of each athlete in order of merit.
The top 20 (male & female) will be published in the NJAL bulletins, NJAL web site and in the Athletics Weekly magazine.
After the fourth and final fixture of the season the top 8 male and top 8 female athletes will be invited to compete at the Athletics Weekly Grand Prix Final which will take place alongside the National Junior Athletic League Finals. This event is usually at the Moorways Stadium in Derby.
Please Note: only the best scores from three matches are taken into account, so missing a match through illness, injury or holidays will not affect your chances of gaining a final place.
If you have any queries about the Grand Prix then please do not hesitate to contact the League Secretary or your Area Representative who will be only too pleased to assist you.
