Athletes will be given awards after the last track meet based upon their standings. In the event of a tie, within an age group, athletes will run a 100 meter dash to break the tie.

To respect the privilege of using facilities, athletes/parents must follow Journey’s Track & Field Policy. Track and field must be free from trash and debris after each track meet. All trash must be taken to the dumpster or taken with you as you leave. Drivers must adhere to the 10 mph speed limit while entering and exiting the property. Drivers must park in the available parking spaces by the field.
