Compete? I thought this was just a recreation practice.

We are members of the Lakeland Track League. Each Sunday during the season, we have the opportunity to field a team to compete against other teams in Morris County, NJ. The events that are contested in the league include: 100 meters, 200 meters, 400 meters, 800 meters, 1600 meters, 4x100 meter relay, Shot Put, and Long Jump!

Do we have a time schedule for each meet?

In the Lakeland League, each meet consists of the following events & the schedule in which they are competed:

Each Age Division competes in the event so an order looks like: 800 meters for Boys 9/10, Girls 9/10, followed by Boys 11/12, Girls 11/12, Boys 13-15, Girls 13-15, then moving onto the 4x100 relays, etc.
