Meet Information
The 2018 FRA Highland Games are just around the corner. This
year the meet begins on Friday, April 6th, with a few of our field events and
the 100M Girls & Boys Prelims. The remainder of the meet takes place on
Saturday, April 7th.
The High School field will be limited to the
first 16 teams to sign up, and the Middle School field will be limited to the
first 8 teams that sign up. All teams are to sign up on-line through TN
Milesplit.
Please remember to inform your parents,
students, and fans to bring blankets and chairs for the burm seating.
As you may already know, beyond the Track and
Field events, the FRA Highland Games is a fundraising activity for a community
charity. Adult admission is $5. Each year the members of FRAs track team select
a different charity for all gate proceeds to be contributed to. This year the
FRA Track Team has chosen Preston Taylor Ministries which is a part of Boys and
Girls Club of Tennessee. Every dollar collected at the gate will go to this
chosen charity. The costs of the track meet are covered through corporate
sponsors, team fees, and other contributions from parents and friends of the
event.
See below for the schedule and additional
preliminary meet information.
