June 1^st and June 8^th are the Mini Meets at the Sardis Track @ 3:30pm. Parents are responsible for getting students there. There is no limit to how many girls or boys per event. 

Mini-Meets: These are informal, after-school track meets for athletes to try out events. They are opportunities for athletes to compete without the pressure to qualify. In other words, any number of boys or girls of the same grade may represent Strathcona in any event. There are no ribbons awarded on these mini-meet days.

District Track and Field Meet - June 16th. This is the full-day, formal track meet where athletes must pre-qualify at school during lunch time practices.

For track/running events, those are limited to two boys and two girls for each of the following years of birth: 2011, 2012, 2013 - these essentially are Grades 5, 4, and 3.

For throwing/jumping events, those are limited to one boy and one girl for each of the age categories.

**Therefore….it is very important that all athletes attend every practice and let their coaches know which events they’d like to try to qualify**

There will be a bus providing transportation to the Track Meet but there is not a bus for return/pick-up. 

**Parents MUST pick up their child from the event**
