USATF Para Track & Field

Athletes with physical impairments send the national medical diagnosis form to the USATF Classification Coordinator, then are evaluated at an event with a national classification panel; visually impaired athletes can be classified any time via an ophthalmologist form sent 4+ weeks before a meet. Intellectual impairment classification runs through Athletes Without Limits. USATF Para Track & Field is listed here as governing body for Para athletics.
