HERSHEY'S TRACK AND FIELD GAMES

Created in 1975, the Hershey's Track & Field Games is the largest youth sports program of its kind in the United States and Canada. Meets take place in every state and every province in North America, and the grand finale — the North American Final Meet — takes place in Hershey, Pennsylvania.

The goal of Hershey's Track & Field Games is to introduce children to physical fitness through basic events like running, jumping and throwing. But the program also strives to encourage children to reach their potential and develop a sense of accomplishment.

The following are the final results for the participants from Virginia that competed in the North American Final meet held on August 6, 2011.  The children who qualify within their respective age group to participate in these finals are some of the top athletes throughout all of North America.  In all running events, except the 800 and 1600 Meter Runs, there are only 8 final participants.  In some of the field events, as well as 800 and 1600 Meter Runs, there were as many as 15 athletes competing.  All of these children are commended for their great effort in representing our state as finalists in this 34-year-old program.
