The EAA Track & Field program is proud to be recognized as one of the best youth track programs in Minnesota. The tradition continues and we are looking forward to another fantastic track season.

The EAA Track & Field program aims to introduce and promote the sport of track and field within Eagan and our surrounding community. Our mission is to stress the importance of team, friendship and sportsmanship in the track and field experience. 

Our season consists of five meets and typically a minimum of one practice per week. Running and field events evolve as your child grows through the program. Our goal is for each child to participate in one field event and up to three races each meet. This aids in their skill development and also stimulates their interest and enthusiasm in track. 

The 2024 Track season is in the books. We are extremely proud of these young athletes’ efforts, attitude and positivity that they brought to the track. Week in and week out, they defined leaving it all on the track. On behalf of our EAA Track board and Eagan and surrounding community, we cannot begin to thank you all enough for the dedication you have put in. From coaches grinding through practices, long meets, rescheduled and canceled events…to families and athletes enduring some less-than-ideal weather at times…you always came with a smile on your faces and enthusiasm for these kids.

Honor Roll: Our top 8 season performances of each event (by grade) are posted on our website on the records and honor roll tab on the EAA Track Website. 

Join the Team! We are optimistic you are interested in carrying the torch to keep the positive and competitive culture of our program alive. We have listed the anticipated open board positions below for your consideration.

What a season. Especially for these four boys. Back-to-back weekends of breaking all-time records in the 4 x 200M and 4 x 100M relays. The 4 x 100M relay is a record that stuck for 29 years. Congratulations to Gavin Tait, Rowan Stattman, Alex Holland and Sean Kirby!

Kindergarten - 3rd Grade:  Teams are formed based on coach and individual request and school.  Every effort is made to keep children enrolled in a specific school on the same team.  If there are too many athletes from a specific school to fit on one team, the athletes are split as evenly as possible between two teams. 

4th - 6th Grade: Teams are formed based on a ranking system from previous season results. This takes into consideration the overall performance of returning athletes to help create evenly balanced teams.  School, coach, and individual requests are generally not taken into account and may not be honored with these grade levels.  It is the final decision of the Track Director to approve formation of these teams.

Note: As this is a recreational program, athletes are not allowed to compete at a higher level (i.e. 3rd grader on a 4th grade team, etc.)

Thank you to all of the volunteers who have given time and energy this year. We look forward to seeing many familiar faces back with us again, as well as welcoming new friends and volunteers.

1. Older age group of athletes run first, so incoming age groups (Kindergarteners, 2nd graders and 4th graders) can see the event prior to competing. The exception is the high jump event where 4th graders jump first.
2. K-3 age groups are not permitted to wear spikes. 4-6G age groups may wear spikes. Only 1/4” pyramid spikes are permitted.
3. At each meet, no athlete shall run in more than one race than a teammate so events are balanced weekly.
4. Athletes may not participate in any individual event more than twice during the season unless unique circumstances are required and approved. 
5. Honor rolls will only list an athlete once to allow others to be recognized for their best performance. 
6. Athletes should report to the starting area prior to the final call of the event. There will be a first, second and final call announcing each event. It is the coaches responsibility to listen to the calls from the announcers throughout the meet.
7. All meets are held at the Eagan High School Track. All ground rules imposed by Eagan High School are to be observed. 
8.  It is the responsibility of all participants, coaches, volunteers, and spectators to ensure the track area is cleaned of trash at the end of each practice or meet. 
9. High Jump pits are for competition only.
10. Team home bases are in designated areas only and exclude the football infield.
11. The decision to cancel a meet due to inclement weather will be made by the Track Director in consultation with the Meet Manager. The decision will always be based on the overall experience and safety of our athletes and families. Make up meets will be scheduled if an opportunity exists. In general, rain is not grounds for cancellation.
