American records can be set at which events?

• A. Only at state championships
• B. Can be set at national championships only
• C. Any meet with no restrictions
• D. These records can only be set at state, regional, national, and international championships and pro meets

Answer: (D)

American records are only established at meets that are officially sanctioned and designated as record-eligible by the federation. That means performances must take place at events where the meet is recognized for record purposes and follows the federation’s rules for judging, weigh-ins, drug testing (if applicable), and eligibility. The breadth of such events includes state championships, regional championships, national championships, international championships, and pro meets. This coverage ensures that a record reflects a formally administered competition with standardized conditions, rather than any random or non-sanctioned meet.
