@ Roane County High
School Walton Tiger “Fight
Back with Track” Meet Tuesday May 2, 2023 Track & Field Event
Hosted by: Walton Middle School
Coaches,
My name is Joe Rector and I am the Asst. Track Coach at Walton Middle School. We would like to invite you to the “Fight Back with Track” event on Tuesday, May 2. Our student athletes would like to help give back to a cause. On May 2nd of 2015 I finished coaching a CWVAC Conference Track meet and went to the hospital for an elbow injury. Quickly it was made apparent I was in a lot worse condition since I was diagnosed with Leukemia and began my fight against Cancer. Our student/athletes chose this date and event to help raise more awareness and funds for Cancer Research. Thankfully, as of today I am 8 years into remission and still winning my fight.
Field events will begin at 5 P.M. with running events following at 5:30 P.M.. This event will be held at Roane County High School and will utilize their 8 lane track and Electronic Timing System.
If you are entering as a single them the fee is $60.00 or if you are entering a combined girls and boys team the fee is $100.00. Checks can be made payable to Walton Athletic Boosters or WAB. If you need an invoice sent to your school please contact me.
Athletes will still follow the WVSSAC criteria of only participating in 4 total events with a maximum of 3 running events. You may enter an unlimited amount of athletes per event with only three having the chance to score. You may enter 2 relay teems with only 1 having the chance to score.
