Prince George Track & Field Club

Saturday April 19th will mark the start of both our Junior Program (9-13 year olds) and Track Rascals (6-8 year olds) beginning at noon at Masich Place.   We will have volunteers on hand from 11:30am-1:00pm to take registrations.

If you can’t make it on Saturday, don’t worry as there is still time to register for these programs or our Senior Program – just stop by the track during any of our regularly scheduled practices and complete the registration form.

BTW PLEASE NOTE:  There will NOT be a practice on Easter Monday.

The meet information for our Annual Sub Zero Meet scheduled for Saturday May 3rd is now available.   Just click the “MEET INFORMATION” Tab and download the pdf.

Prince George Track & Field Alumni Alyx Treasure made like it was 2012 and cleared a new personal best in the high jump at a meet in Tucson Arizona this weekend.  Alyx continues to enjoy a strong season with the Kansas State University Wildcats coming back from an injury.

Placing first in the event with a height cleared of 1.85m/6-00.75, Treasure secured No. 7 in school history. The height bested her previous career high of 1.84m/6-00.50 set at the Texas Relays in 2012 and was the best mark by a Wildcat since 2004.

TIME TO ORDER

It’s time to get ready for the outdoor season and that means it’s also time to help raise some funds for the club and brighten things up with a flower basket just in time for Mother’s Day.   For just $30 you get a beautiful 10” mixed flower basket from VanRoodes with proceeds going to the track club.

 If you would like to have a flower basket (or two or three) let us know by sending us an email princegeorgetrackandfield@gmail.com  OR fill out an Order Form by clicking Flower Order 2014_PGTF

The flower baskets will be available at the gravel parking lot at PGSS above the track on May 5^th.

If you haven’t registered yet that isn’t a problem, just come by Masich Place Stadium on Saturday April 12 – anytime between 9:30am-1pm to register or to find out more about our various programs.   PLEASE download and FILL OUT a 2014 Outdoor Season Registration Form and bring with you.  Outdoor Registration Form 2014

BTW we take late registrations at any time during the season simply by attending one of our practices at the track.
