Pine Grove Area Invitational

Friday, April 26th 2024

Pine Grove Area will be hosting its 14th annual Track and Field Invitational on Friday, April 26, 2024. 

We have an all-weather track. The high jump area, long and triple jump runway, and javelin runway also have an all weather surface 1/4 inch spikes only.

Cost is $ 300 per team. ($300 for both the girls and boys squad.) Make checks payable to the

Cardinals Track and Field Booster. C/O Lynne Delinko. 103 School Street, Pine Grove, PA 17963 or you can bring the check to venue.

Pole vault will not be a contested event.

Three participants from each school per event. One relay team from each school. When registration closes Tuesday April 23rd at midnight changes will be accepted through email until Thursday April 25th 5pm. No changes will be accepted the day of the meet. 

Medals will be awarded for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, and ribbons for 4th, 5th, and 6th. A trophy will be awarded to the girls and boys team that accumulates the most points. Scoring for the meet will be 10-8-6-4-2-1.

There will be designated areas for tent set-up. Please do not put them up on the home side bleachers.

In field events, except for high jump, the first two attempts will be measured. After that, there will be a minimum mark established in order for the attempt to be measured. Each competitor will be given 4 attempts.

 We will decide on a boxed alley or waterfall start for the 800m, 1600m, 3200m, and the 4*800 relay the day of the race. A two-turn stagger will be used for the 4*400 relay. If we feel there are a lot of competitors for the 800m, we may use more than one heat.

Field event competitors will sign in at the event. For running events, there will be a paddock area on infield the gate near the start of 100m.

There will be no tents allowed in the home bleachers.

There will be a meeting for coaches at 2:00 PM near the finish line area.

The field events will start at 2:30.

Running events will start at 2:30 

Weigh-ins will begin around 1:00 behind home side bleachers.

T-SHIRST will be sold at the Invite.
