Vlookup with If And statement

This one has me stumped but excel is awesome and I feel like this should be possible. Thank you in advance for any help!

I'm not sure the best way to go about this, I'm thinking a vlookup with with nested if and statements between 2 excel spreadsheets. I have a slightly large spreadsheet with names that are repeating and events repeating thus the file first needs to determine the class so it pulls the right time. The data contains Classes (class A, B and C), Name, Event and Time. 

Spreadsheet A is the times. Everyone's times are recorded on Spreadsheet A. Spreadsheet B is to track the times per participant on a different tab per participant.

In Spreadsheet A, column A is the participant number, column C is event name, column G is the time and column H is the class.

In spreadsheet B, (the formula will be in Spreadsheet B). First, I need the formula to look at the class listed in spreadsheet B Column C Row 4 (Class A), then the formula needs to look at column H in spreadsheet A for Class A. Then it needs to look for the rider number on spreadsheet B, Column C row 2 (1234), needs to search spreadsheet A column A for rider 1234, and last it needs to look for the event (Runs) in spreadsheet B, and searches spreadsheet A column C for runs. After  it matches all 3 then it needs to return the time in column G. If it does not find all 3 matches, then it needs to leave it blank. 

 

IE: Spreadsheet B, Class "A", Rider "1234", Event "Runs", if it meets all three criteria's then return the time in Column G.
