High Noon Track & Field Meets 2013

2013 will see a continuation of the popular 'High Noon' Track and Field meets conducted by Athletics ACT (AACT) during the winter months. All athletes turning at least 12 years of age by 31st December 2013 and older are invited to compete at these meets. Click here to download a copy of the updated program.

If you turn 12 or older in 2013, this is a fantastic opportunity to keep up your skills and fitness during the off-season and to compete at the AIS track with senior athletes. You can try events and distances you have not tried before.

  • The cost for registered athletes is $5 per athlete each week and athletes are required to wear their Centre uniform and current registration number. Current registered Little Athletes are registered until 30th September 2013.
  • LAACT request that parents of registered Little Athletes who are participating in these meets assist with officiating on the day.

Please note: Athletics ACT will require athletes to pre enter at least 30 minutes before the competition commences.

All athletes must pay their entry fee in the Commonwealth Room at the AIS athletics track and hand in their Event Entry Form at least 30 minutes prior to the scheduled starting time of the event. The entry form lists all track and field events on offer at a particular High Noon meet. Blank forms will be available in the Commonwealth Room. Click here to download a copy of the Event Entry form
