Summer Track & Field

2024 Season

 

2024 Season Schedule:

Days: Mondays and Fridays

Dates: May 31st – July 19th

Location: Kehler Stadium (Westfield)

 

Traditionally in the Summer, we offer all track and field events on a track. This Summer we are offering three options - Distance, Sprints, and Throws (javelin, shot, and discus).  Long jump and hurdles will be added during the season.  All athletes are offered the option of participating in one of the scheduled meets.  Competitve athletes are encouraged to attend the scheduled meets and compete in the USATF Junior Olympic Meet.  More than 250 Flyers participated last Spring with qualifiers for the USATF state, regional, and national championship meets.

Athletes will be taught the fundamentals, techniques, and skills of track & field running, jumping, and throwing events. More experienced athletes will build on the fundamental skills through conditioning and in-depth training for their desired events.

We will begin offering Long Jump TBD.  This is open to athletes 7-15.  This should be in addition to their normal practices.  This is also geared for athletes that are competing in meets.

Also, we will begin offering Hurdles on Fridays at 7pm only.  This is open to athletes 11 & Older.  This should be in addition to their normal practices.  This is also geared for athletes that are competing in meets.

Finally, we will also be offereing extra practices for those attending meets on Wednesdays from 6:30-8pm at Kehler Stadium in Westfield.
