2026 Track and Field Season Wrap-Up

The 2026 Track & Field season has crossed the finish line, and we couldn’t be more proud of our incredible athletes! From record-breaking performances to thrilling photo finishes, this season brought excitement, determination, and unforgettable moments at every meet.

A huge thank you to our amazing coaches and parent volunteers whose dedication and support helped create such a positive and rewarding experience for all of our athletes. We’re also grateful to the many spectators who joined us at Encinal’s beautiful new track to cheer on our athletes as they gave their all in every event.

Results from all meets are LIVE and check out some photos from our Championship Meet!

Congratulations to everyone on an outstanding season! Your hard work, sportsmanship, and team spirit made this year truly special. And for those who caught the running bug, be sure to check out the Asteroids Cross Country program this fall!
