JATC members of any age can compete in a number of meets throughout each track-and-field and cross-country season. The majority of JATC athletes are youth (18 and under); likewise, many of the meets in which we compete are youth-oriented. Youth athletes may also compete in local, regional or national road races. Open (19-29) and masters (30+) runners may compete in all-comers T&F meets and road races, as well. For a schedule of upcoming meets or to see results and photos from past meets, go to the Meets, Results, Pics page. Events JATC athletes compete in many different individual and relay events throughout the track-and-field and cross-country seasons. Coaches will work with club members throughout the season to determine which track and/or field event(s) are best suited to each athlete’s individual strengths and desires. The number of events in which athletes may participate varies by meet, but typically is limited to 3 for younger athletes and 4 for older athletes.At XC meets, the athlete's year of birth determines the distance he/she runs at cross-country competitions (though training distances typically will be longer). |
