CYO Track & Field – Calling All Runners, Jumpers, and Throwers!

Registration is now open for CYO Track & Field for grades 4-8! It’s time to lace up your running shoes and join the St. John/St. Al’s Track & Field Team! Track & Field is a fantastic way for your child to enjoy the outdoors, stay active three days a week, and have fun with their friends. Our experienced coaches work closely with each grade to find the best races and field events for every athlete and prepare them to do their best. This year we proudly defend our All-Girls Championship Title (eight years in a row!) and aim to reclaim the All-Team Championship Title (we won three years straight and finished second last year).

Practice Schedule:

  • Tuesdays & Fridays: 7-8:30pm at Nathan Hale High School
  • Thursdays: 6:30-8pm at Whitman

Friday practices are optional. There will be one practice during Holy Week and no practices during Spring Break.

Registration Fee: $70 – Register Here! (Financial aid is available; contact Brian Haid at stjohnad@st-johnschool.org). 

Optional Team Singlet  – This year, we are offering an optional Team Singlet – a sleeveless track jersey designed for added comfort during competition. The universal jersey can still be worn if preferred.

The new singlet is $45, can be purchased during registration, and will be available until Friday, April 11. (Please note: Singlets take approximately two weeks to order and ship. They will arrive by the first meet if ordered by 4/11.)
