We make every effort to present all awards on our infield awards podium immediately following the conclusion of each event. Running event athletes are escorted to the infield awards holding area at the conclusion of their race. Field event athletes are also asked to report to the infield awards holding area until the final results are compiled and the awards are presented.

Team Awards and Outstanding athlete awards are presented at the conclusion of the meet. Outstanding Male & Female performers are chosen by a selection panel appointed by the Games Committee prior to the start of competition . The decisions of the selection panel are final and cannot be appealed. Selections are based on individual performances as they compare to other significant Invitational and National performances as well as to the current UAGTCA Invitational and USATF Youth National records within the division being considered. Relay performance is given no more consideration than any individual performance and can be included in the panel deliberations.
