2024 CALENDAR OF EVENTS

Here is a printable calendar of all team activities. This calendar includes meets for middle school, JV, and varsity. It also includes activities such as fundraisers, pictures, and awards. Meets are color coded for each level of competition.

Varsity = Yellow
JV = Teal
Middle School = Pink


HOME MEET VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

Unlike other sports, track and field relies on volunteers to help with home track meets. No experience is required, just a willingness to help. Most positons simply supervise workers and record event performances. We are flexible with placement so you can watch your Rocket compete in person. We will meet as a group before the meet to see where everyone would like to help.

Volunteers needed for the following meets:

Thusday, April 30 (Varsity / JV) - MS will be in Pine Island
Friday, May 3 (JV / MS)
Monday,  May 13 (V / JV / MS)
