Middle School Event Order
Girls compete in running events first while boys are in field events. Within each gender, 7th grade runs before 8th grade. Once girls’ running events are complete, the meet “flip-flops”—boys move to running events and girls to field events.
Note: Hurdles and the new Medley may not follow this pattern, and event order can vary slightly depending on the host school.

*All boys field events will begin at the same time as the girls running events. Once the girls running events are done, the boys will start their running events, and the girls will start their field events.
*NOTE for Hurdlers - Even though all girls running events happen first, typically the boys hurdles happen right after the girls hurdles. This is done so that we can get all hurdle events completed, and then get the hurdles off the track and be done with them. Therefore, boy hurdlers should expect to run right after the girls, and may have to leave their field event for a little bit to do so.
Note for Athletes in Multiple Field Events: When reporting to your field events, check in with the event clerk for every event you are entered in at the beginning of your field event time. Let the clerk know you are competing in multiple events and will be rotating between them. Ask the event clerks to help guide you on which event to prioritize.
