Nutrition

In order for our athletes to perform their best they should be given a good breakfast (example: toast/waffles, limited meats (ham) and dairy/eggs) before coming to the field; and furnish nutritional foods to eat during the meet. Once they are finished with their events for the day, they can enjoy a heavier meal.  All athletes are responsible for providing their own lunch and drinks.

 

Listed are suggested items to keep in mind when preparing for those long track meets. Age group track meets can move slowly due to the number of events offered and the large number of participants. For that reason, we strongly recommend you come prepared.  Drink plenty of water.
