| The McKelvie Track and Field team is open to boys and girls in grades 6-8. The students compete with teams from other schools in a variety of events, including: shot put, discus, long jump, high jump, hurdles, relays, 100, 200, 400, 800, and 1600 meter running events. Participants may compete in two running events and one field event or vice versa. There are two relay races, a 4x100 meter and 4x200 meter race. Generally, the eight fastest boys and eight fastest girls make up the four relay teams.
The goal of the program is to introduce the fundamental techniques and motivations that are unique to track and field. It is hoped that each participant will learn to set and achieve personal goals. The hope is that they will qualify for the Tri-County League Championship, which is usually scheduled for the first Saturday in June. |
