i know the age up date for meters is 12/31 of the given year.
has it always been that way?
(mostly i need to know if in 1997 the age up date would have been 12/31/97 or the date of the meet...)
thanks!

Looks like it was the day of the meet in 1997. I don't have a 1997 rule book but I do have the 1998 and 1999 rule books here; it looks like it changed between those years. Here is what each of them say:
USMS 1998 RULE BOOK, Page 19:
102.2: The elgibility of a participant for a particular age group will be determined by the age as of the last day of the meet.
USMS 1999 RULE BOOK, Page 19:
102.2.1: For short course yards, the eligibility of a participant for a particular age group shall be determined by the age as of the last day of the meet.
102.2.2: For short course meters and long course meters, the eligibility of a participant for a particular age group shall be determined by the age as of December 31 of the year of competition.
