Welcome to the ICD Track Team Information Page
Six-time Repeat Champions
2018, 2019, 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025 CYC Champions
Track is broken down into the following grade groups: 1st-2nd, 3rd-4th, 5th-6th, & 7th-8th
If your child participates in track, please note the following commitments:
- They will compete in at least one, if not both, of the pre-CYC meets.
- They will compete in the qualifier and finals if they qualify.
Team Overview
The Immaculate Conception Dardenne Track and Field team, established in 2010, is a proud member of the St. Louis CYC Sports Association. The CYC conducts three qualifying meets followed by the CYC City/County Final Meet, where the top six finishers from each event advance. With around 2,000 kids competing across the four qualifying meets, the competition is intense.
Our team also participates in two pre-CYC meets, providing athletes with valuable experience and allowing coaches to identify the best events for each child. Participation in these meets is expected, as results will inform event placements for the CYC qualifier.
CYC Track is a competitive league, and we practice up to three times a week. For athletes to remain competitive, commitment to at least two training sessions per week is essential, as well as participation in pre-CYC meets.
We welcome both boys and girls, 1st to 8th grade. Track events include sprints, distance races, and various field events. Participation is open to parishioners and non-parishioners living within the ICD parish boundaries. If you reside outside the boundaries and your local parish lacks a track team, you are eligible to join us.

Seasonal Information
The track season runs from March 9th to May 16th. Practices will take place three days a week, subject to facility availability, at Fort Zumwalt West High School. Practices start at 6 PM and last up to 1 hour and 15 minutes initially, extending as daylight increases. If Fort Zumwalt West is unavailable, we may practice at the upper field behind the football field or the ICD soccer practice field. Changes will be communicated via email and/or the Team Sideline app. Please check your emails regularly. While attendance at all practices is not mandatory, more training results in better performance.
