Full-time students in grades 9-12, at high schools in the United States or United States possessions, who are eligible for their high school team (and/or any high school athlete) born SEPTEMBER 1, 1989 or later, and who have met the entry guidelines, are eligible to compete.  In addition, home-schooled athletes who meet the age and entry requirements are eligible to compete. Specifically not eligible are athletes who have graduated from high school in 2008 or those in their 5th or later year from ninth grade. Even though an athlete has graduated prior to the meet date, as long as the athlete was a high school student in the 2008-2009 they are eligible to compete. (NOTE: Exceptions may be made for athletes in lower grades or special circumstances.)
