Practice Meet Events

Practice Meet March 7 , 2009 at Buena High School
Schedule of Midget Events

Our practice track meet gives all of the athletes and volunteers for the club a chance to work out any kinks and see what it's like to run a track meet in a competitive environment. Not all events will be available at the practice meet, but we do get the chance to race and feel the heat of competition. You can choose only 2 running events, or 2 running events and our field event. Here is the list of events that Midgets get to choose to participate in at the practice meet.
Running Events:
  • 4x100 meter relay
  • 800 meter run
  • 200 meter run
  • 80 meter hurdles*

You can only participate in the hurdles if you have run the event in a track meet before and practiced hurdels between now and the practice meet

Field Event:

  • Shot Put (6 pound shot)

I want all Midgets to focus on having a great time, show amazing sportsmanship (let's cheer louder and be the most encouraging team at the track) and work your hardest during your races. This brings me to our "Quote of the Week"

"Victory isn't defined by wins or losses. It is defined by effort. If you can truthfully say, 'I did the best I could, I gave everything I had,' then you're a winner." ---Wolfgang Schadler
