The qualifying finish of teams and individuals at the regional meets will constitute entry into the national meet. No further declaration to compete is needed. If a team or individual chooses not to compete for whatever reason including medical, they must notify the NCAA committee by 9 p.m. Eastern time, Sunday, November 17. If between Sunday and the national championships a student-athlete becomes unable to participate due to a medical condition this must be certified in writing by a doctor that the student-athlete's medical condition warrants that they not participate.
