CEDAR RAPIDS TRACK CLUB

What is the Cedar Rapids Track Club (CRTC)?
CRTC is a non-profit organization (501c) offering a youth track & field program for boys and girls ages 9 to 18 years
old. (Age 9 by 12/31/2008) Everyone makes the team and competes in track meets. CRTC is beginning its 11th year.
CRTC is affiliated with USA Track & Field (USATF).
When does the CRTC track season begin and end?
Practices began Monday, 14 April and end in the middle of July, unless the athlete has qualified for the National Junior
Olympics meet held at the end of July. High School and Middle School athletes can join the team after their school track
season is completed.
When and Where are Practices held?
All practices are held at the Cedar Rapids Kennedy High School track, Monday, Wednesday & Friday from 6:00 PM to 7:15
PM. All practices are optional & conflicts are understood (and exptected). However, the more an athlete attends practice,
the more s/he learns & improves! Fundamentals of running, jumping, and throwing events will be emphasized. The use of
starting blocks for sprinters will be encouraged.
