Meet Schedule

---

MTC participates as a team in many track meets throughout the indoor and outdoor season. Meet participation is optional but highly encouraged. Meets serve as a reward and encouragement for their hard work in practice.  Athletes compete with others in their age group.  Most early meets are held within a 2 hour drive of Manhattan. 

For the 2021 Season, Manhattan Track Club will not be attending meets as a coordinated team. Athletes will need to select and register themselves as unattached. Of course, it's likely that other team mates will choose to attend these meets also. We will communicate which meets our Coaches have chosen to attend also. Any questions regarding meets or events, please contact Coach Thesiaus at coacht@manhattantrackclub.com

Most of our "regular" meets around the Manhattan area have been cancelled again this year. Below is a list of meets which we know about from varied sources. Some of these are much further away than members have traveled in past years.

FAQs

1.What do we bring to meets?

Because of the uncertainty of weather conditions, come prepared. When weather reports have called for sunny and warm days, we've experienced at times rainy and cold. If in doubt, bring sweatshirts/sweatpants, change of shoes, socks, umbrellas (which are good for rain or sun).

2.What types of snacks should we pack to bring to meets?

Healthy snacks. Some ideas would be orange slices, bananas, cut up melon, grapes, crackers, rice cakes, sandwiches, juices and of course water. Even good foods should be eaten in moderation and not right before your event. No sodas, candy, chips or fast food. Please save that for after the meet.

3.How will I know how to get to a meet?

The track club usually meets at a designated time and place so we can follow each other out to a meet. If that's not possible, we usually provide directions (the web site often has drivings directions to the meets).

4.Will my child be able to participate in every meet?

For developmental and invitational meets, yes. As the season progresses, the meets get a bit more competitive and athletes need to qualify to continue on. Fortunately, there are developmental and invitational meets throughout the season that anyone will be able to attend.

5.Why do the athletes need to stay out of the sun?

The sun is very draining to athletes. Sitting in the sun during a track meet can create dehydration, fatigue and other heat related injuries. This is also the cause of feeling sick after running an event. Track meets are usually long and when an athlete does need to be out in the sun, be sure to have sun block.
