Can my Champion compete in another sport and with the Blue Lightning Track Club at the same time?

An athlete may participate in another sport during the same season as track and field but it is not recommended. Doing so can lead to missed coaching and development opportunities and track competitions, fatigue, lack of focus, burn-out, and injuries.
Note: If the other sport is a middle or high school track and field team, please make the head coach aware so he can make sure the athlete is getting adequate rest for recovery. Typically when an athlete is also competing for their school, the focus is rest until after their school season.
Participating in Blue Lightning Track practices is a condition of being a club member unless the athlete is competing on the track team for their school.
