They usually make it to states, but I noticed that I won't get the chance to go to states.

This is my first year in div C so I have had experience with this. Going into the year I didn't really think I could make the main team. We have 3 teams overall and I would've been happy with just the 3rd team. I gave the effort into tryouts and somehow made the 2nd team even though I didn't make my main events. I spent alotta effort (mostly by myself, my partners kept changing) and constantly outperformed the main team in all my events. Some people on the main team underperformed and when states came, I made the states team with 2 other people (one who was another freshman).

Don't give up, just give it all your effort and when you outperform the people on varsity, they might make a last second decision to put you on varsity. I don't know how your system works but at the very least, you'll have the experience to make it next year

I didn't see this when I typed this but yes you can still participate but only in certain events that arnt counted if you come. Of course theres only generally 3 trials (at least in NY) and there's gonna be competition for those spots

Also for our school at least we have people on the team do the trials, however we do bring along some people to help out (or mostly to let them enjoy the experience as well)
