TRACK AND FIELD MEET
FOR
MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS
-400x300.JPG)
Our longest-running Community Service project is our Track and Field Meet for students from Plainfield, North Plainfield, South Plainfield and the surrounding area.
- The Meet was first offered in 1923, the second year of the Club's existence, and has been offered every year since, except for three years during World War II.
- Middle school girls and boys compete for medals and ribbons in a fun-filled, competitive afternoon of sports. The custom medals are eagerly sought by the athletes, some of whom never before competed in an organized event.
- In the above photo, three of the competitors pose after receiving their medals at the Awards Tent. Photos of past Meets and athletes in action are available in the Track and Field Meet photo album.
- Club members and friends serve as officials, coordinating and running six different events for three age groups of boys and three age groups of girls.
- The Meet is normally held on the first Wednesday of June at the Hub Stine Athletic Complex on Randolph Road in Plainfield.
