Record Submission

POLICY FOR AGE GROUP AND OPEN RECORDS

In order to be considered as an SCTC record, a performance must occur while the athlete was a registered, dues-paying member of the Syracuse Chargers Track Club.
If the member registered for the event as a member of another club, the record will not be accepted as a Charger record.
If the member did not register for the event as a member of any club, the keeper of Charger records may use his/her discretion in determining if the athlete was representing the Chargers.
If there was an opportunity to list club affiliation on the entry form, and the athlete did not enter as a Charger, the record will not, except in the case of extenuating circumstances, be accepted as a Charger record.
If there was not an opportunity to list club affiliation on the entry form, the record will, except in the case of extenuating circumstances, be accepted as a Charger record.
An athlete who competes in an event as a member of a USATF club other than the Chargers may not earn a Charger record until 90 days after the event in which he/she represented the other club. After the 90 day period, the Charger record keeper may use his/her discretion in determining whether the athlete is representing the Chargers.
Performances by current high school and collegiate athletes may be accepted as Charger records when the athlete is entered as a Charger for that competition and the athlete has met the other criteria listed above.
Performances accepted prior to the development of this policy will be accepted as Charger records, except in the case of extenuating circumstances.

Record Submission Information

If you think you may have set a new Chargers age/sex category record, please alert records keeper Terry McConnell by filling out the form to the right.

Include your email, the event (mile run, for example), the date of the performance, your own date of birth and sex, and the mark you achieved (time, distance, height cleared, etc.)

To help the records keeper judge the validity of your performance (for example, was it properly timed? Was the course properly measured?) it would also be helpful if you could include contact information for the organization that sponsored the event.

In most cases a link to the official results is sufficient. (place in comments)

To be eligible for a record, the mark must have been achieved in a bona fide competition, and you must have been a member in good standing of the Chargers at the time. You should register as a Syracuse Charger if the entry form asks for your club affiliation. In particular, if you competed as a member of another club, your record will not be accepted as a Chargers record.

Once Terry has received your record request, he will contact you through email.

Updates will be communicated on our web page, in our newsletter, and on Facebook.
