Welcome to Raptors Track and Field NEWS
Meet schedule change for the week of April 15!!!
We no longer are competing at the Park coed meet on Tuesday, April 16.
Booster Club Support
Our track Booster Club Support Fee is $75. The Booster Club fee is different than your sport registration fee. The booster fee is financial support for team shirts, team dinners and coaches salaries. You can pay via Venmo (use this link or scan below), or cash or check. Send cash/check payment to practice w/ your child.
All athletes are required to have ALL Black shorts or compression for track meets. If you need shorts/compression you can order at this team store link. You also can buy other athlete gear or fan swag. This stored is closed.
Also note that each registered athlete also will receive a free team long sleeve t-shirt. You can find that link here and this link will close March 21.
