Corrections noted for III track standards

The qualifying standards for the men's and women's distance medley relay, an event making its Division III debut in the 2000 indoor track championships, were inadvertently omitted from the September 13 issue of The NCAA News.

There are no automatic qualifying standards in the event for its first year. Provisional qualifying standards are provided for tracks that are measured in either meters or yards, and for both fully automatic timing (FAT) and manual timing (MT).
