Performance Expectations

In order to be on the McGill Track & Field team, you must hit team standard in at least one event. Performances within the past 12 months are eligible. In the case where a student-athlete has been injured and unable to compete, performances within the previous 24 months of the start of the season are eligible for selection consideration. It should be noted that while hitting team standard is the athletic requirement to make the team it does not entitle any student-athlete to represent McGill Track (see Values).

Further, simply hitting standard should not be a focal point; it is the first hurdle, the first target, in a long list of challenges ahead. We expect that with experience and development our student-athletes will aspire to and reach U SPORTS and a larger number will contribute at RSEQ championships.

Once on the team, it is expected that each student-athlete will compete in a minimum of 2 different events throughout the season (if you’re asked to do more than 2, it is expected that you do more than 2).

In most situations qualifying to the U SPORTS championships is based on the following: 

1.     Achieving U SPORTS standard

2.     Winning your event at RSEQ championships

3.     Being ranked in the top 12 in your event

In the case of relays, every effort will be made to put the fastest four runners on the squad. 

For away meets, including conference championships, each event has a separate method of determining who will travel and represent the team (e.g. Ranked top 12 (on trackie.com) in the event for distance). Priority will always be given to athletes in a scoring position. For more information, please ask your event coach.
