REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN
Welcome to the 2022 Indoor Meet of Champions! We are fortunate this year to have the Meet of Champions hosted by Hope Academy of Chicago and supported by Under Armor.
The Meet of Champions is endeavoring to offer a quality experience to both middle school and high school athletes.
For the high school portion of the meet, due to the fact this is a school-sponsored meet during the IHSA season, there is no waiver or exemption needed to compete. However, this is not a club meet and you must represent your high school in order to compete. You do not need to come with your team but will represent your team
Entries
The entry fee for participation in the 2022 Indoor Meet of Champions is $20 for up to two events. The fee is an entry fee and not a competition fee. The fee is due whether the athlete competes at the meet or not. All entry fees must be paid before registration closes otherwise the athlete will be removed from the meet. Athletes can switch events any time before the close of the registration.
For team registrations, please contact the meet director. We will send a team package to you along with a contract from the Hope Academy athletic department.
The deadline to register is March 1st, 2022. Registration will be closed at that time. Any athlete that wants to participate in the meet after the close of registration will be assessed a $10 late fee.
Invitational Events: High school events only. Invitational events will be the top 1 or 2 heats of an event or flight. Check the schedule for how many sections will be run.
