2024 VT State Track & Field Details

We are so excited to host our annual state track & field meet in person again this summer!

The VRPA/St. Johnsbury 2024 State Meet will take place on Saturday, July 20, 2024 at St. Johnsbury Academy.

The cost for 2024 will be:

$16 per person (VRPA Member organizations)

$18 per person (Non-member, per registered participant)

Athletes ages: The athlete's age group is determined by his/her age as of December 31, 2024. Athletes aged 7-15 on December 31, 2024 are eligible to participate in the meet this year. If the athlete was a freshman in high school during the current 2023-24 school year then they are not allowed to compete.

Invoices will be sent to each team at the conclusion of the meet once the total amount of athletes has been collected from you prior to June 7th, 2024. This commitment form helps us prepare for the amount of ribbons and shirts we need to order, and the number of athletes to expect. Please provide accurate athlete numbers to avoid extra costs associated with ribbons and t-shirt's that we order.

The top 6 athletes in each event will get a ribbon handed out at the conclusion of each event the day of the meet.
