2013 Outdoor Season

  • May 4 - Bloomfield Developmental Meet 3, Bloomfield High School, 5 Huckleberry Lane, Bloomfield, CT
    This is a good meet to start in.  Usually about 12 or 13 teams.  Separate division for 2007 & 2008 birth years. Great chance for us to see where each athlete is before the Bloomfield Invitational in two weeks. [Meet info]

  • May 18 - 7th Annual Bloomfield Youth Invitational, Bloomfield High School, 5 Huckleberry Lane, Bloomfield, CT
    This is a small level championship meet. Last year about 16 teams. Team scores for both boys and girls division. We need to make amends for last year when our girls placed 5th overall and our boys finished in the lower half of the standings. The Jets have 14 meet records at this meet. Let’s have a strong showing here once again! Separate, non-scoring division for 2007 & 2008 birth years.  [Meet info]

  • June 15 - AAU New England District Qualifier, Thayer Academy, Braintree. We host this meet every year and will be asking you to help make it a success. Somewhat small so our athletes go home with a lot of medals.  First step toward the AAU Jr. Olympics at the end of the season. We expect everybody even if you have no plans to go to the AAU JO’s.

  • June 22 - USATF NE Junior Olympics, Fitchburg, MA This is the biggest meet of the year up to this point on the best track up to this point. Over 30 New England teams. No athletes born after 2006.  We won the third most gold medals of all teams last year. Leads to the USATF JO’s, which we will not go to as a team. Top 8 in each age group qualify for National Qualifier on July 5-7. [Meet info]

Top 5 in each (single year) age group at this meet qualify for the AAU Jr. Olympics in Michigan. You are urged to attend even if you’re not going to go to the JO’s.  2011 we had 12 kids at this meet. 2012 we had slightly less.  We host this meet in 2014 so we need a strong showing this year.

  • July 29-Aug 4 - AAU National Junior Olympics, Detroit MI  This is the goal. Must be top 5 at AAU National Qualifier. Over 12,000 kids from around the country make this the largest track meet in the world. See and compete with most of the best in the country. The last two times the Jets went, 2010 (8 kids) & 2011 (6 kids), we came away with one 5th place medal, two 4th place medals, one bronze, two silver and one gold.  Simply put, if your child qualifies, you should go.
