MEET EVENTS AND SCORING

Athletes may compete in at most four events at each meet.  Only three can be individual events (ie all events except the relay), and only two can be individual track events (ie all track events except the relay).
​
Track Events
Each track event is divided by age and gender, with youngest boys running an event first, followed by the youngest girls, and continuing in this manner until all 6 age groups have run the event.  During distance running events, girls and boys in the same age group may sometimes be combined into one race in order to save time, but each gender is scored separately.

Age Groups
The list below shows the 6 age groups and the order in which each group competes in the track events.  An athlete's age group is determined by the age the athlete will be on December 31st of the current year.  For example, if a runner is 10 years old during the spring track season and has a birthday of November 1st, his age group is 11-12 because he will turn 11 this year.
 
1.  9-10 Boys
2.  9-10 Girls
3.  11-12 Boys

4.  11-12 Girls
5.  13-14 Boys
6.  13-14 Girls

Field Events
Both the Long Jump and Shot Put events occur concurrently with the track events and must be completed before the last track event ends.  The coaches for both field events select six competitors per age group for each meet.  All athletes are encouraged to attend practices for field events, but only those selected by the coaches are eligible to compete at meets.  The coaches for the track events will send the selected runners to compete in the field events during a track event in which the runner is not competing.
 
Scoring
For track events, only athletes in scoring heats are able to score points for their teams.  The scoring heat is generally the first heat for each event and age group.  For field events, only the six athletes selected by the coach are able to score points for their teams.
