About Boys' Track

The Madison West High School track and field team competes in Big Eight conference dual and in several invitational track and field meets throughout the season. There are no tryouts, cuts, or season-long placements on varsity, junior varsity or freshman squads for meets or practices. Rather, team members train principally with teammates who compete in similar events. Competition begins with the City Indoor Meet at the UW-Madison Shell on March 27. The season culminates with the 2010 State Track and Field Meet at UW-LaCrosse, to be held on June 4th and 5th. The schedule of events varies slightly from meet to meet, but generally includes 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m, 1600m and 3200m runs; shot put, discus throw, long jump, triple jump, high jump, and pole vault events in the field; and 4x100m, 4x200m and 4x400m relays plus occasional 4x800m and throwers (always a favorite event) relays. Home meets are held at Mansfield Stadium at the intersection of Mineral Point and Gammon Roads. Most meets, home or away, feature the both the boy and girl Regent teams. There is no better place to spend a warm spring evening. Come on out and cheer on the West track and field athletes!
