The PTFCA releases its "state guidelines" each year. These guidelines provide suggestions for what would likely be state qualifying performances, though it does not guarantee selection.
Please note there are differences in suggested marks on flat tracks and oversized tracks (which include banked surfaces). For hand timed races, 0.24 is added to the time.
The PTFCA Indoor State Championships are set for Sunday, February 26 at Penn State University.
