Broadwater Academy Viking Relays on the Grass 2023

Exmore, VA

Meet Information

Broadwater Academy on Virginia's Eastern Shore is hosting one of the few track & field meets in the United States that features track events contested on a grass surface.

Running events will consist of a one-mile run and relays run on a 400m track that is accurately measured, mowed low, and rolled as flat as possible.

Field events will be contested on paved surfaces, including separate discus and shot put circles and a rubberized runway for LJ, TJ, and PV events. Field events will be conducted in an open pit format. This meet presents a great opportunity for your student-athletes to try new events without high-stakes pressure, so please encourage them to try new field events.

Events in the field and on the track will begin at 3:00 PM
All events will have JV and Varsity divisions. 
Varsity competitors should be in Grades 8-12. JV competitors should be in grades 6-10.
