ALL-SPORTS NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL RECOGNITION APPLICATION
NATIONAL FEDERATION OF STATE HIGH SCHOOL ASSOCIATIONS
PO Box 690 Indianapolis, Indiana 46206 Phone: 317-972-6900
Please complete all information below. Please type or print. Application must be completed in full for consideration by the National High School Records Committee. One application per mark or performance. If more than one mark or performance, please include comprehensive list and attach to application. Applications are invited for all performances which might be considered for inclusion in the National High School Sports Record Book, whether as a new national record or for listing among the top performances in a particular category. Track and field and swimming and diving performances require special applications available only from the NFHS.
This application must be forwarded to the home state high school association for its endorsement. Required along with the application are newspaper accounts of the performance and any other material (i.e., scorebooks, etc.) that can help certify and document the performance. Photographs of the performance and of the individuals or teams involved are requested. If completing this form electronically, all supporting documentation and/or photographs can be attached to the e-mail forwarded to the state association.
This application should be forwarded to the state high school association as soon after the performance (single game) or completion of season (season or career marks) as possible. Applications received more than 28 days after the performance or completion of season may be too late for inclusion in the next edition of the Record Book. Please note that a season mark is defined as all regular-season contests within state association limits, plus all contests in the state association-sponsored playoffs up to and including the state championship contest.
The state high school association, after its recommendation, will forward the application and other required material to the NFHS office marked Attn: National Records Committee.
Performances must be established in competition conducted in compliance with the eligibility rules of the state high school association(s) involved and all NFHS playing rules for the sport involved if the NFHS publishes a rules book for that sport, unless in the judgment of the Records Committee the different rules of play do not significantly give advantage to the establishment of the record performance.

SPORTSMANSHIP STATEMENT: The National High School Records Committee is pleased to recognize outstanding achievements by teams and individuals. Although it is impossible to determine intent when marks are established, the committee strongly encourages recognition of performances in the true spirit of interscholastic competition. Running up scores or embarrassing an opponent for the primary purpose of inclusion in the Record Book is not consistent with the ideals of good sportsmanship.
