League Relays Results
Congrats to both our boys and girls teams at Vista for winning this year's Continental League Relays! Results and team scores from the event can be found below. Thank you to all of the parents, coaches, and athletes that came out to help on Saturday as we hosted the first League meet of the season.

Program Fee/Fundraising
  • Payment Link: https://vistagoldeneagles.sportngin.com/register/form/187327841
  • Why: There are currently 150 athletes out for track and field this spring. As a result, we have hired 8 coaches. DCSD provides six coaching stipends for the spring track & field season. This is two fewer stipends than we currently have. To ensure all of our athletes have proper coached we are asking every family on the team to make a small donation to the Track & Field Booster Club.
  • Program Fee Recommendations:
    • $50 recommended donation to help compensate our assistant coaches for the 2023 spring season. 
    • $150 recommended for athletes that are consistently seeing Coach Boele for massage therapy on Tuesdays.
    • Other Amount: Any amount to help support the program is greatly appreciated if you are unable to afford the recommended donation amounts. Likewise, if you would like to donate more your support is always valued. 
  • Fundraising Goal for 2023: $7000 will cover the cost of the two assistant coaching stipends that DCSD does not cover for the track and field program this season.

Parents/Spectators on the Infield at Meets
This is a reminder that all parents and spectators should remain in the stands (or designated spectating areas) during track and field meets. Failure to comply can result in track meet officials disqualifying our athletes/team from events at meets. The infield is reserved for coaches, athletes, and meet officials only. Thank you for your cooperation.
