Please Note:

New rules set for 2004 by the Dominion Command of the Royal Canadian Legion limit the number of athletes to 25 in any one of the two age groups offered at the Legion National T&F Championships. Too meet this rule the BC Athletics Annual General Meeting will be asked to approve a total team size of 40 made up of 25 - 16 & 17 yr olds (Juvenile age group) and 15 - 15 yr olds to the 2005 Canadian Legion National Championships.

Standards are based on the average of the 3rd place performance in the Legion National Track & Field Championships from the previous 5 years, unless noted. Standards may also be adjusted by the BC Athletics Event Group Committee to better reflect the expected performance levels of 15 Year Old athletes on this BC Team.

Due to limitation of 2 per event and a team size of 15 - 15 Year Old age athletes, achieving the selection standards does not guarantee selection.
