2019 Track & Field Program (Packet)
February 9, 2019 (Age Group Track & Field Meets) and February 23, 2019 (Exponent Track & Field Meets) at both East and West Hawai`i sites simultaneously. The Konawaena High School Track Oval will be utilized for the West Hawai`i meets, while the site for the East Hawai`i meets will be at the Waiakea High School Ken Yamase Stadium. The increase interest in track and field has necessitated the use of two sites.
Enclosed in each packet are:
1. Entry forms for girls and boys for the age group and exponent meets.
2. Exponent chart for exponent meet.
3. Waiver forms, which can be duplicated, for each participant.
4. Reminders.
