All About Track & Field
All About Track & Field
The Events. There are 16 events in a standard California high school track meet. Some invitational meets will run some other non-standard events (mostly these are unusual relay combinations).
There are two relay events - 4×100 and 4×400. These relays start and end track meets, so the relay races are an opportunity to set the tone of the day for the team, and can be the race to determine team winners in close meets.
There are six individual running events: 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200.
There are two hurdle races - 300 intermediate hurdles for everyone, and 110 high hurdles for boys (65 for frosh-soph boys) and 100 hurdles for girls.
The six field events include throws (shot put, discus); horizontal jumps (long jump, triple jump); and vertical jumps (high jump and pole vault, although Athenian does not compete in the pole vault).
Scoring. For meets with more than four (4) teams, the scoring for each race or field event is as follows: 1st place (10 points), 2nd place (8 points), 3rd place (6 points), 4th place (4 points), 5th place (2 points), 6th place (1 point). Every point counts for the team's overall placement!
Etiquette and Courtesy
Etiquette and Courtesy
Competitive Courtesy: Please say 'good luck' to at least one of your competitors before the race, and say 'good race' to at least one competitor after the race—no matter how happy or sad you are feeling! It’s good karma, if nothing else, and it always will reflect well on you, your family and your school.
Officials and Volunteers: It takes a lot of effort by many people to pull off a track meet. Without the help of coaches, officials and volunteers, we would not have track meets. Every athlete should say ‘thank you for being here’ to at least one volunteer, official, or teacher at every meet. Your comments really matter. So make it a goal—thank at least one volunteer or official at every meet you participate in!
Help Out: Always look for opportunities to grab a hurdle and help set up, or anything else where you can be useful.
Cheer! Support your teammates while you are not running. Head over to the jump pits or the throwing rings and see what your teammates are doing.
