Mercer Island Parks and Recreation's All-Island Track Meet for 4th and 5th graders is this Friday 6/8. Participants are to arrive at the Mercer Island High School football stadium at 1:00 in order to check in and be ready for the 1:15 warm ups. The meet will last until approximately 3:30. All athletes are responsible for their own travel to and from the event.
Participants are expected to:
- Wear the team T-shirt (distributed at the team meeting last week), athletic shoes (cleats are not allowed), and sun block
- Bring a water bottle
- Demonstrate good sportsmanship by cheering for all athletes and showing respectful behaviors
For the first time in the event's 48 year history, there will be 5 schools participating. Therefore, some of the running races will be conducted in heats, with the top finishers from the two preliminary heats competing in the final race.
Families and students are welcome to attend and cheer on the Lakeridge Lions. The event ends with the Jesse Jaramillo 400 meter fun run which is open to all!
Go Lions!
