UWAAC Senior Relay Selection Policy

Selection Criteria

Athletes are selected to represent the club in the state relay championships by the club committee with input from the club coaches. All potential relay members should make themselves familiar with the dates of the state relay championships from the Athletics WA competition calendar.

Athletes will be selected in relay teams based on their club ranking in their age appropriate event from the previous 12 months, however ‘in form’ athletes (from the current season rankings) will be given priority.
Athletes will be notified of their selection by email prior to the championships.
Athletes are required to reply via email or phone to confirm their acceptance in the relay team.
Athletes who do not reply to confirm their acceptance in their selected relay by the specified date, will lose their relay spot to the next ranked athlete in their events.
Priority is given to the top 4 fastest UWA athletes regardless of age for team A, priority is then given to senior UWA athletes for all other teams. Under age athletes may be used in senior relay events if there are insufficient numbers of senior athletes to fill the relay team.
More than one team may be selected per event depending on Athletics WA’s rules. (The club’s top ranked athletes will be named in the A team).
Any athlete who withdraws from the relay teams after confirming their selections will be replaced with the next ranked athlete in that event.
Athletes will be given instructions on the time and place to meet the Club Captains prior to the event for relay practice. Any athletes missing in the teams at the final check in may be replaced at the Club Captain’s discretion.
Note: It is important that athletes notify the club registrar if there are any changes to their email address.
