Welcome to the webpage for the Ninth 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, the meet flourished, serving hundreds of boys and girls who compete against novices like themselves. Last year, the meet was, once again, a great success; and we hope that you enjoyed the meet again this year and that you set a PR for the season!

This year, special thanks go to the administration of Lenape High School, and especially to the Track and Field staffs at Lenape High School, for allowing us to use their facilities while ours are being repaired, and for helping us in many ways throughout the meet! Without their cooperation, the meet could not be held!
