Announcing….
6th Annual BAA City-Wide
2015 Track Meet
For Girls and Boys in Grades K-5
DATES:
Friday May 8th from 5:30 – 7:30 at Kennedy High School
Friday May 15th from 5:30 – 7:30 at Jefferson High School
Note: These will not be drop-off events. Parents should stay at the track.
MEET DETAILS: Participants will compete against others in their grade level, choosing
one or more of the following events:
100m
200m
400m
1-Mile Run
Long Jump
Softball Throw
REGISTRATION AND FEES: Athletes may participate in one or both meets. This
year we will not be requiring pre-registration, it will be an all-comers meet. We will not
be charging fees, but will be requesting a donation (suggested $3 per child, per meet).
Upon arrival to either meet, please check in by signing your child up and grabbing a bib
number. This bib can be used for both meets, it will help us identify and record times
for each runner and distances for each thrower/jumper. Athletes will be broken up into
age groups and will travel to each event as a group. While they do not have to
participate in each event, athletes should be aware of their group’s location so they do
not miss an event.
VOLUNTEERS: We will again have support of athletes from both the Kennedy and
Jefferson track and field teams. They have been a tremendous help over the last few
years. The meets also require parent volunteer support. Please let us know if you
would like to help.
BLOOMINGTON TRACK CLUB: After a very successful first year, we will once form a
Bloomington Track Club that will allow athletes a chance to get additional track
experience beyond these two BAA meets. We will be holding 3-5 practices and entering
(as a team) 2-3 track meets outside of Bloomington (likely USATF meets). There will be
more information about this opportunity handed out at our meet.
CONCESSION STAND: We will be running a small concession stand with water,
Gatorade and a few snacks.
