Assumption High School Track & Field


Welcome to TRACK.AHSDISTANCE.ORG

Welcome to the Assumption Track and Field team website! The first Assumption High School Track and Field team competed in 1969 at the Louisville Catholic High School Invitational Games. Much has changed since then, as the team has won numerous Regional team titles, a State Runner-up team finish in 2003, and State Championships in 2005 and 2012. This site is not only a source of current season team information, but is also dedicated toward highlighting the accomplishments of the many Assumption Track and Field athletes who have competed over the years.

Joining the team:

Assumption Track & Field Team hosts a tryout that begins on the first Wednesday after Christmas Break and continues into that Thursday. Information on our tryout is available at at this link. Note that in order to participate in our tryout and ultimately on the team, you must have a current physical on file with the Athletics Office. Copies of the KHSAA physical form can be found in the Assumption HS Athletics office or the KHSAA website. Practice times and days will vary by event group, with most, but not all practices being held after school. See the attached handout above for more details.

Competition in Meets:

All Assumption Track & Field athletes compete in meets by the end of the season. We do not require everyone to compete in Indoor meets (January to early March), but we do require the girls to compete in Outdoor meets (early March to mid-May). In some indoor meets and any postseason meets after State (e.g. Nike Outdoor Nationals), the girls are not allowed (as per KHSAA rules) to compete for Assumption and so they run as part of the Derby City Athletic Club. We provide information about getting a club team uniform once we know who may be competing in these meets.
