Running events currently include 50 meter (juniors only), 100 meter, 200 meter, 400 meter, 800 meter, 1200 meter (juniors only) and 1600 meter (seniors only) runs plus a 4 x 100 relay. Field events are the long jump, high jump and shot put (seniors only). Some teams don't have access to high school facilities and consequently don't compete in all field events. The season, which runs from late March through late May, consists of dual/tri meets between individual teams plus the league-sponsored Developmental Meet, Relay Carnivals, and Championship Meet. See the Team Information page for additional information pertaining to development of a new team. |

Relay Handoffs - a Procedure that Works |
There are many ways to work that baton around the track, but some work better than others especially when working with grade school children. This procedure is a good one since it is easy for the kids to understand the basic concepts, and it works in practice as well as theory.

The High Jump - How to Jump and How to Teach It |
Selected as Site of the Week |
In track, kids generally know how to run, and the long jump and shot put are usually pretty intuitive as well. The High Jump, however, is usually a new experience for all, unless they were out for the team in previous years. This page explains the dynamics of the event - how to approach the bar and how to jump - with a focus on key aspects such at the gather, the plant, the pivot and getting the body over the bar. Just as important, how to teach the event is also discussed in quite a bit of detail. |

5th Place Times (updated to include the 2005 Meet results) |
This link takes you to a compilation of 5th place records from Championship Meets dating back to 1984. The file is big, so it may take a while to load up, but if you're into statistics and data you will probably find this interesting. The compilation was initially developed to help pick Championship Meet Team Wildcards; it could still serve that purpose ... ??
