Drugs / Supplements
Each athlete is responsible for what they consume. Not every supplement lists all their ingredients, therefore it is consumer beware. You can do some research on the individual ingredients by going to the Links we have listed under the ‘Drug Testing Link’ section.
Meets
Go to the Calendar link on the webpage, then select the Event Category for the State or neighboring States you wish to compete in to see if there are any currently sanctioned. Or use the Search box.
Note, if you aren’t seeing a meet in your area, reach out to the State Chair and ask when they expect the next one to be sanctioned
