Please join us for this final week of practice this week before the JV Conference Finals West meet this Saturday, April 29 at Fillmore High School. As a reminder, ALL athletes are eligible to compete in the JV Meet this week unless your athlete secured a spot in the Varsity meet for an individual event. Read more about the upcoming meets below. If you have more questions please reach out to your athlete’s coach.
After this week most athletes will have completed their season and will no longer have practice. We will look forward to celebrating a great season with them at the annual team picnic on Sunday, May 7 at 12 pm at Buena High School Quad.
Below is a description of the JV finals and the Varsity finals meets.
JV Conference Finals West — April 29 at Fillmore High School
555 Central Avenue, Fillmore, CA 93015
The JV finals are open to almost all athletes. In order to participate in an event in the JV finals the athlete needs to:
1) have participated in that event at least once during the regular season (except for relays, an athlete need not have competed in a relay during the regular season to compete in a relay at JV.)
2) have NOT qualified for that event in the Varsity Finals. If an athlete qualifies for an event at the Varsity Finals, they can NOT participate in that event at the JV finals. Also, the same event limit applies (maximum of 4 events – a maximum of 3 running events plus one field event).
Varsity Finals — May 6 at Moorpark High School
4500 Tierra Rejada Road, Moorpark, CA 93021
For each event in each age/gender group, the top athletes in the conference qualify for the Varsity meet. For sprints and field events (100m, 200m, 400m, and long jump), the top 9 athletes qualify. For the distance events (800 and 1600), the top 12 athletes qualify. If there is a tie for the last slot, they then look at the athletes’ next best mark. You cannot qualify for Varsity at the JV meet.

VCYTC/SCYTFC Super Varsity — May 14 at Rio Mesa High School
545 Central Avenue, Oxnard, CA 93036
Super Varsity is a championship meet between our league (VCYTC) and a neighboring league (SYTFC). Qualification at co-conference is based on the results from the Varsity Finals. For laned events and field events, the top 4 athletes from VCYTC and the top 4 SCYTFC qualify. For non-laned running events, the top 8 from each conference qualify. If an athlete is not available to participate, they will take the next best athlete.
Athletes who qualify for Varsity or are part of the relay team will continue to practice. This will continue if they advance to the Co-Conference Meet. It will be important that our relay teams commit to practice and competing in the meets to avoid having to scratch the day of the meet.
Go Tigres!
