General Track Meet Information:

 

• New to MVTC - Please provide a photocopy of your child’s STATE birth certificate with the completed MVTC registration form. 

• Birth certificate is required PRIOR to attending any track meets. 

• Returning athletes who provided a copy in a previous year DO NOT need to submit another copy.

• MVTC competes in both AAU (Amateur Athletic Union) and USATF (USA Track & Field Association) sanctioned track meets and in their National Junior Olympic series of track meets.

• All competitive athlete entry fees are paid from your MVTC registration fee through the AAU District Meet and USATF State Meet.

• The track club does not pay for spectator entry fees, meals, transportation or lodging.

• The MVTC t-shirts provided are yours to keep.

• Athletes under 13 can compete in a maximum of 3 events (running or field events).

• Athletes 13 & over can compete in a maximum of 4 events.

• MVTC members can meet at a common location and travel together to track meets outside the Quad Cities.

• Bring sweats to meets. Always take warmer clothes than you think necessary. It is easier to take off sweats than put on the sweats you didn’t bring! You want to keep your muscles warm throughout the meet.

• Food & Drink – eat a normal breakfast. At the meet, limit eating to fruit, health bars and water to stay hydrated. 

• Water should be the primary drink during the meet.

• Limit sports drinks intake until after your event or meet.

• Relay teams – We will try to enter as many relays teams as possible at each meet for fun and athlete development. We try to place the fastest athletes on the “A” relay, next fastest on the “B” team, etc.
