It works for middle school stars like Lyla Stuurmans, as well.
Spring sports were shut down by the COVID-19 pandemic, but track and field athletes may have a new outlet.
Athletic.net, the clearing house for monitoring results from across the nation, has launched virtual meets which any prep track star can participate in.
Athletes participate on their own, while practicing social distancing guidelines, have their performances recorded, then see how they do against other athletes from across the nation.
Weekly prizes are offered, as well.
“Your safety and health are of utmost importance at all times,” the website said. “Please follow all guidelines set forth by national and local officials, schools and parents.
“Virtual events are intended to help you stay active and motivated while training and exercising on your own. We all miss the sport and competing together in one location; we know you do, too.
We can all use this time to enjoy those close to us and compete with everyone else from afar!”
