2010 Practice Schedule
The MTC season runs from April 12, 2010 through June 30, 2010. Practices will be held Monday through
Thursday, April 12 - May 27, from 6:00 - 7:30 pm. Starting May 31, practices will be held Monday through Friday mornings, 8:00 - 9:30 am.
KSHSAA rules apply to middle and high school track participants. They WILL NOT be allowed to practice with
the Manhattan Track Club until their school season is complete. However, middle and high school
parents are encouraged to attend the Parent/Athlete Meeting to register for the season.
Spring and summer is a time of many activities including other sports. Therefore attendance at all
practices is not mandatory. However, the more your child attends practice, the more he/she will see
improvement in their skills.
Track & Field Meets
MTC participates as a team in many track meets throughout the season. All meets are optional but
highly encouraged. At these meets, athletes compete with others in their age group and these meets serve
as a reward and encouragement for their hard work in practice. Most early meets are held in the Manhattan
area or the state. The Kansas State Championships, which is hosted by MTC in Manhattan, begins the AAU
series of meets in which the top event finishers in each successive meet advance to the Missouri Valley,
Regionals, and the National Junior Olympic Games. Note that all meets have separate registration forms
and fees which are the responsibility of each athlete.
