Welcome to the webpage for the Twelfth Annual Cherokee Track and Field Invitational, the meet designed for young athletes who have not qualified for Sectional or State championships. In the beginning, the coaching staff recognized a need for novices in the South Jersey area to have some kind of formal end to their seasons, beyond their last dual meet, and this meet was introduced.

In the past, despite some incredibly bad weather for the month of May -- it actually snowed one year! -- the meet flourished, serving hundreds of boys and girls who compete against novices like themselves. This year, 2011, the meet had to be postponed because of thunderous rainstorms but the meet was held the following week and it was, once again, a great success! We hope you competed this year and set major PR's for yourself, and we hope to see you again next year!
