NLAA Junior HS Championships
Saturday, June 7, 2025

Pearlgate Track & Field Complex, Mount Pearl

The Championships are open to girls and boys currently attending grades 7 through 9; no regional events or qualifying meets are required to participate. The meet offers individual and team competition. Only NLAA affiliated schools are eligible for the team awards. Students attending non-affiliated schools can participate in the competition and win individual awards.

All athletes will compete in a single open category, without regard to grade level.
Students may only represent/compete under the school where they are currently enrolled.
We encourage ambulatory throwers and runners to participate, and they will be integrated with all other participants.

NEW in 2025
100m, 200m, 400m, and 4x100m Relays:
Starting blocks are optional, but athletes must use a crouch start (4-point start).
