Check-In & Classification
Check-In
Every registered athlete must come through event check-in at Morgan's Wonderland Park Event Center.
Classification @ MWL Park Event Center
Texas Regional Games requested U.S. Paralympic Classification panels for Track/Field, Swimming, and Cycling. We did NOT get awarded a Swimming or Cycling classification panel. We will be hosting a Track and Field classification panel at Texas Regional Games.
US Paralympics will be conducting provisional classification through an on-line process. If you are in need of a swimming classification, Darlene will send you that information.
Track and Field Classification appointments are required and must be arranged ahead of time. If you checked on the registration form that you needed classification, you will be sent a link a few weeks before the games to sign up for an appointment. The appointment times go fast, so we encourage you to look for that email and respond quickly. It is required to fill out the US Paralympics paperwork to get a classification appointment. If you have classification questions, please contact Darlene Hunter: darlene.e.hunter@gmail.com.
