Unified track and field update

Unified is open to male and female students and there is no fee to participate, Crouch said, as it’s part of the track program that has received grant funds.

The students compete in events and tournaments. There are Unified events at most regular track meets. 

“If they qualify, they compete in the regional competition as well as the state competition,” Crouch previously told the Advocate.

Every Unified athlete is paired with a non-Unified track athlete, which is a peer partner. They practice together and they compete in Unified events together. Peer partners usually have other events outside of Unified events to compete in as well.

The Advocate previously reported practice would be held once a week with the Varsity Track Team.
