Youth Track & Field

From early April through the end of July, the Johnston Running Club operates a youth track and field club for children ages 6 through 18. All abilities and experience levels are welcome, but everyone should be prepared to work hard and always keep a positive attitude. The season is set up to peak for the state AAU and USATF meets in mid June. All athletes are expected to compete in at least 2 meets during the season.
