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.

We are beginning to finalize plans for our home meets. To make our meets a great experience, we need your help.

Volunteers needed for the following meets:

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

Although this is usually championed by our distance runners, anyone can participate. If you are interested in helping with this event, please contact Coach Hiller or Coach Sonnabend.
