VARSITY & JUNIOR VARSITY REQUIREMENTS
There are no “cuts” or bench warmers in Track & Field and everyone has the opportunity to compete, so hard work plus dedication will guarantee success. While there are no clear divisions between Varsity and Junior Varsity, Varsity athletes are typically ranked as the top 5 in their event and will only run Invitational Meets / State Qualifiers in those events while Junior Varsity athletes are usually still developing in their events and will participate in JV meets and the Junior Varsity Championship Meet. No Varsity points will be awarded for scoring at a Dual meet or the Junior Varsity Championship, but points may be earned by meeting standards at these meets.
In most Invitational Meets / State Qualifiers, only three entries per event are allowed and, in some cases, just two. For this reason, Varsity runners will be chosen based on the most consistent meet results and/or consistent practice participation and/or ATTITUDE; therefore, the top Varsity members may change from week to week.
