The Logistics
Middle School & High School Information
Butte Track Club does not hold formal practice for middle school and high school athletes. We do however encourage middle school and high school athletes participating in USATF summer meets to join the track club. Butte Track Club pays USATF entry fees for its members, so it quickly becomes more cost effective for athletes to join the club and compete, rather than paying and competing unattached.
Grade School Information
Outdoor practices for grade school athletes (grades 1-6) are on Tuesday each week beginning Tuesday, June 10th from noon (12:00 pm) to 1:00pm at Charlie Merrifield Track, Bulldog Memorial Stadium. We are excited to announce that the Montana Tech Track & Field coaches and athletes are running our summer program this year, creating a terrific opportunity for our young athletes to interact with college-age athletes and role models.
