In addition to established national athletes, newer athletes ages 14+ are invited to attend as the meet will also serve as an AWL and U.S. Paralympic Track & Field Talent Identification event.

Athletes will be placed in one of three classes: Intellectual Disability (II1), Down Syndrome + (II2), Autism (II3) using the AWL/Virtus eligibility groups. Athletes are encouraged to have applied to Athletes Without Limits for Virtus/Paralympic eligibility but it is not required to compete in this meet.
