Spring ~ Track & Field

  • Commitment: Track practices 3 days a week and will participate in 5-6 regular season meets. Practices begin in early March.
  • Practices: M/W/F, 4-5:30. Students will meet in the lobby at Beacon and run to the lakefront for easy runs or workouts. We also occasionally have workouts at the Wilson Track near Montrose Harbor in Chicago on Saturday mornings, as an opportunity to run workouts on a track. The events that we participate in include distance, sprinting, sprint and distance relays, hurdles, and long jump.
  • Meets: Held on weekdays April through May with some Saturday meets. We use the Beacon bus for transportation with the exception of Saturday meets, in which everyone uses their own transportation.
  • League: Track and Field is an IHSA sport played in our Lake Shore Athletic League conference.  
  • Post-Season: Track participates in the conference championship meet, as well as the IHSA State Series. IHSA Sectionals for girls are the 2nd week of May. Boys are in the  3rd week in May. The top 2 finishers in each event advance to the State Meet. Girls State Meet is the 3rd weekend of May. The Boys State Meet is the 4th weekend of May.
