The Finals: April 23 at NPHS.
The finals are open to everyone. To participate in an event in the finals the athlete needs to:
1) have participated in that event at least once during the regular season. Except for relays, an athlete need not have competed in a relay during the season to compete in a relay at conference finals.
2) have NOT qualified for that event in the championships. If a kid qualifies for an event at the championships they can NOT participate in that event at the finals.
The same event limit applies at the conference finals: maximum of 4 events, a maximum of 3 running events and 4x400 is free.

 

Championships April 30 at Moorpark:
The championships are for the kids that run the fastest, jump the farthest and highest and put the shot the furthest. For each event in each age/gender group the top kids in the conference qualify for the championships. For sprints and field events the top 9 kids qualify. For the distance events (800, 1600, and 3200) the top 12 kids qualify. If there is a tie for the last slot they then look at the kids' next best mark.
Athletic.net keeps track of the top athletes for the conference:
https://www.athletic.net/TrackAndField/Division/Top.aspx?DivID=129725
 
Each club gets to send 1 relay team per age/gender group for each relay (4x100 and 4x400). A relay team member need not have run on any relay or competed with the other members of any relay prior to the Championships meet.
 
Note that each club gets to send relay teams for EVERY age/gender group including intermediates. A relay team counts as an intermediate team if it has one intermediate member. So, a youth and intermediate age group, gets to send a youth team and an intermediate team as long as at least one intermediate athlete participates.  
There is no event limit at the championships; an athlete can compete in all of the events for which they qualify.
If an athlete is unavailable/doesn't want to participate in the championships they leave that spot open they will not bring up the next fastest kid.

 

Co-Conference Championships May 14:
Qualification at co-conference is based on the results from the conference championships. For laned events and field events the top 5 athletes from VCYTC and the top 4 SCYTFC qualify. For non-laned running events the top 8 from each conference qualify. If an athlete is not available to participate they will take the next best athlete.
The location of the co-confernece championships is at Rio Mesa High School and will start at 9:00 a.m.

Dear NP Track Club Families,

Thank you for your patience as we have worked to secure the 2022 season. We are pleased to announce that we will have a season that will include weekly practice and meets at the NPHS track! To all of our wonderful parents who wrote letters to the administration  - THANK YOU! It worked! 

We will open registration very soon - hopefully this weekend. We will allow returning families to register first, and will then open registration to new families. 

We expect the season to begin January 31 or early in February, as soon as the new netting is installed at the NPHS field. 

Please be on the lookout for more information regarding our parents meeting, which will occur this month. 

Lastly, if you are interested in coaching this season (and we are interested in you being interested), please reach out to head coach Romana Danicova (danicova@yahoo.com). 

See you soon!

The 2017 VCYTC Championships meet took place at Moorpark High School this past Saturday, May 6th It was a fantastic day and no less than 10 club and meet records were broken by Newbury Park Track Club athletes:

Youth Division boy Christian Middleton ran 23.13 in the 200 meters, improving his 23.46 club record set 4/1/17. This was also the meet record. Christian also ran 52.40 in the 400 meters, bettering his 52.80 set on 4/22/17!

Congratulations to several Newbury Park Panthers athletes who are no strangers to setting new club records.  Yesterday the Thousand Oaks Flyers joined us the for the dual meet of the 2017 track season at Newbury Park High School. It was an outstanding meet, with standout performances by athletes from both clubs.

Youth Boy Christian Middleton ran the 400 meters for the first time this season, with a mind-blowing time of 52.80, over 2 full seconds faster than the previous record of 54.85 set by T. Pagano in 2008.

Bantam Boy Chase Hansen took additional time off of two club records he previously broke last month, including the 400 meters in 64.78 and the 200 meters in 27.91.

Keep up the great work!

Congratulations to all the athletes who participated in the So Cal Youth Invitational Meet at Ventura High School last weekend, April 8-9. Newbury Park Track Club had a small but mighty contingent of athletes at this meet. I counted 22 1st, 2nd and 3rd place finishes out of 53 events entered. Great job, Panthers!

Special mentions for the following standout performances:

• Bantam Boy Chase Hansen: Broke his own club record in the 100 meters two times! 14.00 in the prelims, then 13.90 in the finals
• Bantam Boys 4x400 Team of Carson Richter, Jaxsen Stokes, Alex Karsten and Chase Hansen beat the previous NPTC club record by nearly 14 seconds with a 4:45.98. This time also set the So Cal Youth Invitational meet record.
• Bantam Girl Lina Saley set a seven year old club record in the 200 meters with a time of 29.80!
• Ailish Hawkins was just .25 second off of a 33 year old club record in the 400 meters with her 64.25.
• Youth Boy Christian Middleton set the meet record with his 23.60 200 meters.

Way to go!
