2025 CYO Track & Field Season Updates
2025 Track Packet - updated 4/1/25
2025 Approved Mergers
This year, CYO Track & Field has been invited to participate with the new professional track league - Grand Slam Track. GST is coming to Philadelphia and running at Franklin Field the same weekend we traditionally contest the Archdiocesan Championship meet. It is a very exciting opportunity to be part of a meet set up for and headlined by some of the best athletes in professional & Olympic track & field.
This has caused some major changes to the Archdiocesan Champs timing and structure. We will run the majority of the meet on Thursday, May 29th from 5pm - 9:30pm. 3 event finals will be contested on Saturday, May 31st prior to the the Grand Slam Track meet events - 100m finals, Co-Ed Distance Medley Relay, and Open 4x400m relays.
The following is planned AOP Champs:
- Shot Put will be contested at the Ott Center Indoor Track & Field facility.
- We will have a conflict flight for athletes with event conflicts who are contesting Shot Put beginning at 4:15pm. See updated event conflict rules in the track packet.
- 4x200ms will be contested entirely in lanes using a 4 turn stagger over 2 heats per age groups.
- 4x400ms will be run using 3 turn stagger instead of waterfall start.
- 1600m races will have a second row of athletes at the common start finish (currently assuming seeds 18 - 24).
- 800m races will be contested over 2 heats of 12 instead of one heat of 24.
- Only 8 athletes will advance to the final in the 100 meter. (We have been advancing 9 in recent years since we had 9 lanes).
- The only entrance to the track will be from the 100m starting area. All other areas will be closed off.
