The JO Track & Field Guide is a document intended to be a one-stop-shop for information regarding the USA Track & Field Junior Olympic Program.  The intended audience is parents and coaches of young track & field athletes looking to participate in the Junior Olympic program.  Through this document parents and coaches will gain an understanding of the various levels of competition, what the entry process is for each level, the entry requirements and what you and your athlete(s) are expected to do at each level.

This document is specific to the Wisconsin Association and Region VIII so viewers within a different association and/or region will likely have different processes, procedures and deadlines.

The idea is for this document to be a live document.  This means the document will be reviewed regularly and updated as necessary.  The date of last modification will be displayed along with the brief description.  Check back at least once a year to see if there are any changes.
