March Update - our practices will start the week of March 15, with the final schedule to come. Practices will be split between Indian Hill (7:30-8:45 PM) and Country Day (6:00-7:15 PM) and will be primarily on Monday and Wednesdays, with a few exceptions. Our first meet will be Saturday, April 10.
Welcome to the 2021 Indian Hill Track & Field Page - Registration will open on January 15. Plans are being put in place by both the Indian Hill Recreation Commission and the CYO Track Organization to have a season in the Spring of 2021. Current plans are to start in mid-March, with meets running from early April - mid May. While plans and protocol will be finalized over the coming weeks the safety of our athletes and coaches will be our top priority. The coaching staff is excited to see our returning athletes after a season off, and welcome those who are new to the Track program.
The program is open to athletes K - 6th grade. Track athletes participate with their age group in a variety of individual running, relay and field events. 5th and 6th grade athletes also compete as a team against other Greater Cincinnati Track Programs.
Registration for the program opens on January 15 and closes on February 28.
The Track Program does allow athletes who are participating in other Spring sports to participate in the Track Program provided parents communicate with the program director about scheduling conflicts in advance of practices and meets.
Each athlete will receive a team shirt and a team warm-up and be entered in six multi-team invitational track meets which will take place on Saturdays starting in April with the final Meet held in May.
Most practices will be held at the Indian Hill High School Track on 2 nights per week. Other practices are typically held at Cincinnati Country Day, less than 1 mile away.
