Outdoor Track

The outdoor club season is an opportunity for the younger kids to compete again and also an opportunity for the middle and high school kids to extend their post season.  This is where they can advance to USATF Junior Olympics and compete against the best of the best.  Other national events are available as well such as Nike, Adidas and New Balance Outdoor Nationals.  These are meets that require qualifying marks.  

The outdoor season is made up of one "tune up" meet and then a post season.  The Illinois USATF Junior Olympic Championships are the first round of the post season.  Athletes must advance through this meet to the next meet.  The next round is the Region 7 Junior Olympic Championships.  If an athlete advances through the Region 7 championships, the are qualified for the USATF Junior Olympic Games.
