INDIAN HILL RECREATION COMMISSION TRACK PROGRAM
Spring 2006
GIRLS & BOYS - GRADE K through 6 

TRACK PROGRAM
Our goal is to provide an opportunity for all participants to learn (1) proper warm-up techniques; (2) how to run; (3) track etiquette; and (4) the rewards of conditioning.

Practices start March 13th and end in late May. Practices will be held Monday and Thursday from 5:45 PM to 7:00 PM at the High School Track.

To measure progress of each individual runner, two heptathlons will be held – one in the early part of the season and the second at the end of the season. Each individual will be timed in all running events (50M, 75M, 100M, 200M and 400M) and measured in the softball throw and long jump. The results are to show progress of the individual, not to compare one runner to another.

Track meets are invitationals (against CYO schools), usually held on Saturdays,

K, 1st & 2nd grade boys & girls at 8:30 to 11:00 (Longest running event 200M, Field events – Long Jump and Softball Throw)
3rd & 4th grade boys & girls at 11:30 to 1:30 (Longest running event 400M, Field events – Long Jump, High Jump, Shot Put and Softball Throw)
5th & 6th grade boys & girls at 2:00 to 5:00 (Longest running event 800M, Field events – Long Jump, High Jump, Shot Put and Discus)

Grade K thru 4 run in heats (based on gender and grade) and each runner receives a ribbon for his/her place in the heat. For grades 5 & 6, the top 6 finishers in each event receive an award. Each runner is entered in 3 events, usually two running events and one field event. Generally at the meets, boys do field events first, then running events. Girls do running events, then field events.

Parent volunteers are needed to assist at practices; to direct kids to stations following the coaches prescribed workout. NO SPECIAL TRAINING IS REQUIRIED TO ASSIST.

Parents are also asked to volunteer as needed at meets.
