Waukesha Catholic Track
2011 Track Season
The 2011 Waukesha Catholic track & field season is underway. This year our athletes will be competing in nine different meets - three indoor meets, two dual meets, a relay meet and three large invitational meets. It promises to be an exciting and - with your help - a successful season.
An overview of the 2011 season is available below. We are always looking for parents willing to help with coaching or to act as team parents. If you can help, please contact Jim Mathie at (262) 521-1567. (We can always use additional help at any grade level. Please consider coaching track. It is a unique and rewarding coaching experience. Even if you don't coach, there are great opportunities to help out at meets.)
Attached to the overview you will find a meet availability sheet. As in past years we ask that you complete and return the meet availability sheet so that the coaches may schedule your athlete(s) for the appropriate meets and events. Please make sure to include an e-mail address. We will again be using e-mail and this web site as our primary means of communication.

Waukesha Catholic Indoor Track Meet
The Waukesha Catholic Indoor Track Meet was a great success again this year. St. Dominic took home the trophy as the All-Grade Relay champion.
Waukesha Catholic's Joe Novak had a spectacular performance in the eighth grade mile running a 4:57.66. It is the first time that a Waukesha Catholic athlete has broken the 5:00 barrier for a mile or 1600 meter run. Congratulate Joe when you see him.
Thanks to everyone who contributed to making this a fun event for all who attended.
This "practice meet" allows young athletes to experience how a track meet runs. Unlike most meets, the older athletes run first, allowing the younger athletes to see their events before participating.
This meet also features the "All-Grade Relay" an eight-member relay with one member from each grade and gender. The race starts with a fifth grade girl, then fifth grade boy, then sixth grade girl and so on until concluding with an eighth grade boy runner. It is a truly exciting event!
St. Leonard Relay Meet
The St. Leonard Relay Meet scheduled for Saturday, April 30th, gives athletes an opportunity to participate in a wide range of relay events - even with field events. Typically, kids enjoy relays more than other events, so this meet, completely made up of relay events, is always fun.
Be aware that this meet - because it is typically the first outdoor meet - is notorious for cold and windy weather. Please make sure that your athlete has proper clothing against the weather.
This year Waukesha Catholic finished second overall. Results from the St. Leonard Relay Meet are available below.
