APPROVED DRAFT TRACK AND FIELD ALIGNMENT - 2017-18 to 2020-21 - DISTRIBUTED TO MEMBERSHIP JUNE 2017
ITALICIZED SCHOOLS participate in Cross Country Only (did not participate in Track and Field) per 2016-2017 information submitted by member school personnel. Comments will be accepted from the membership through 4 p.m. July 6, 2017.
Schools were divided following ranking the four-year average enrollment of track schools, with 40% of the schools placed in 1A, 30% in 2A, 30% in 1A. Cross Country-only schools were added following division. Due to fluctuating participation numbers, an exact balance between regions in both Track and Cross Country is not likely attainable and the existing basketball region boundaries were used where there were multiple options.

Also, the KHSAA Board of Control approved changes to the quantity of teams that qualify for the state meet. With these changes comes the chance for more teams to qualify for the state meet. The new guidelines are:
- 1 full team with all entrants meeting the four meet minimum that enters the regional meet, 1 team advances;
- 2 or 3 full teams with all entrants meeting the four meet minimum that enter the regional meet, 2 teams advance;
- 4 to 5 full teams with all entrants meeting the four meet minimum that enter the regional meet, 3 teams advance;
- 6 to 7 full teams with all entrants meeting the four meet minimum that enter the regional meet, 4 teams advance;
- 8 to 10 full teams with all entrants meeting the four meet minimum that enter the regional meet, 5 teams advance;
- 11 or more full teams with all entrants meeting the four meet minimum that enter the regional meet, 6 teams advance;
- After the qualifying teams are determined, the top 5 individuals not on qualifying teams will advance to the State Meet as "Individual Qualifiers"; and
- Only those who have met the four meet minimum, and those that enter a valid team, will count towards the number of teams entered.
