Are applications required to be submitted at a national championship to set a record?

• A. Yes, applications must be submitted
• B. No, meet results will be used
• C. Only for collegiate records
• D. Only if requested

Answer: (B)

National records are established from the results of a sanctioned meet. When a lifter achieves a performance that surpasses the current national record, that record is recognized based on the official meet results submitted to and processed by the federation. No separate application needs to be filed at the championship to set the record; the results themselves determine the record status once verified. This ensures the record reflects a compliant, verified competition rather than a unilateral claim. If a record is to be credited, the meet results must be complete, and the meet properly sanctioned and verified.
