The St. Mary Avon Track and Field program is open for boys/girls in grades 2-8.
The CYO Program (Grades 2-8) is open to students of St. Mary School or St. Mary PSR program. Students of surrounding parishes can be eligible with approval of their parish if their respective parish does not offer the sport.
We will make every effort to work with those families that participate in other spring sports. In fact, children involved in other sports are encouraged to participate as this program can be a great way build speed, stamina and proper running form. Practices will be structured to incorporate these athletic qualities while improving their track and field skills
CYO Practices: Practices will be two times per week beginning indoors in early March and shift to outside at St. Mary and at a local track as weather permits. It is understood that athletes participate in other sports and will make practices / meets when they can.
CYO Meets: CYO Track and Field consists of running events (100m, 200m, 400m, 800m, 1600m, hurdles, 4x100 relay, 4x200 relay) and field events (shot put, discus, long jump and high jump). Meets will be on Saturdays for grades 2nd-4th and Sundays for grades 5th-8th and will begin in early April and conclude in mid-May.
