2016 Track Season Wrap Up
The St Michael Track and Field team finished the 2016 season at the Diocese Championship May 7. We will hold signups for the 2017 season in January with practices beginning in early February. The program is open to boys and girls in Livermore from the 3rd to 8th grades. The season consists of four Practice Meets and one Relay Meet. It then progresses into the Qualifying Meet, Section Championship Meet, and Diocesan Championship Meet. Our practices are held at the Granada High School track, Monday through Thursday, from 4 to 5 PM until Daylight Savings Time occurs when we extend practice to 5:30 PM.
Our CYO Track & Field Program is run entirely by volunteers from administration to coaching to hosting the track meets. We are fortunate that Granada High School has a superior track & field facility which enables the CYO Track & Field Program to assign most of the meets to our home facility—means you only have to drive to one other facility for a track meet during the entire season! On the other hand it means we are responsible for the lion’s share of the hosting duties. Our Program requires each family to work at least three meets for the entire day (from 8 AM to about 2 PM).
If you have any specific questions about the program, please feel free to contact the St Michael Parish Track & Field Coordinator, Mandy Costello at mandy.costello@hotmail.com.
