Prince George Track & Field Club

PGTF NCD High School Qualification Meet – Results are now posted

Given that schools are not doing extracurricular programs, including Track and Field, and the Provincial Track Meet will still go ahead in June,  the PG Track Club is running a Qualification Mini-Meet in place of the normal two day NCD zone Meet.

When: Thursday May 17

Time: 5 pm till we are done.

Cost: $10 per athlete.

Categories: Senior and Grade 8/9 only.  You can only compete in one or the other.

Schedule: Basically there will be one  race/flight per event.  Field events will be run concurrently so don’t try to do more than two.  Track events will be run together unless there is a need for heats.  In this case the heats will be separated by age: Senior heat and Grade 8/9 heat.

 I have posted the information in the Track Meets section.

Singlets are now available – Price:  $25.00 each

The track pants and women’s shorts for those who ordered are now available.  Prices:  Track Pants – $42.00 each    Women’s Shorts – $21.00 each

Those who purchased Flower Baskets can pick them up on Wednesday, May 9th between 6 and 8pm. Pickup location is the PGSS back parking lot.
