Help:               If you’re interested in helping, we’re looking for volunteers to help with running the field events and doing the timing.  Please contact Coach Morth if you’d like to get involved in any way, shape or form.

Sponsorships: If you or your business are interested in becoming a sponsor for the Griswold Summer Track Series, please contact Coach Chris Morth. Sponsorships would include being able to advertise at the meet, on our website and such.

Concessions:   The concession stand will be open to sell food, beverages and Griswold Track and Field merchandise. 

Awards:         Ribbons will be awarded to the top 3 finishers in each event on a weekly basis.  There will be a trophy for the top performer in each event at the end of the series.

Safety:            We will do everything within our power to make this meet both fun and safe.  For those reasons, there will be no javelin or hurdle events.  Every effort will be made to have a licensed EMT at the track at all times.  All participants will need to sign a waiver of liability.  This waiver only needs to be signed for the first meet, we’ll keep it on record for the remainder of the summer.  If you’d like to print the waiver out and bring it to the meet to save time, it can be downloaded here.
