All students are invited to participate on the team, with tryouts determining which events an athlete can take part in.
Students who meet all academic eligibility requirements may compete for Thornton Academy upper school or middle school indoor track and field. There are a variety of events that meet the interests and skill level of participants: sprinting, middle distance running, long distance running, hurdling, jumping, throwing, pole vaulting, and the race walk.
