Hampshire Schools: Track & Field

Introduction

The ESAA organizes a National KO Cup competition for individual school entries. Usually, a County round is followed by a Regional one and then the National finals.

Hampshire organizes an individual Schools Team Track KO event. The first round is held locally, often at a school, followed by a semi-final and then a final in a stadium venue. Teams can be entered in any of the categories below:

Year 7 Boys & Year 7 Girls
Year 9 Boys & Year 9 Girls

A Senior County Championship is held on a Saturday in early June each year. Districts enter teams and/or individuals in any or all of the following categories:

Under 15/Junior/Years 8 & 9, Boys & Girls
Under 17/Intermediate/Years 10 & 11, Boys & Girls
Under 19/Senior/Years 12 & 13, Boys & Girls

Following these Championships, Hampshire invites athletes to represent the County at an Inter-County event. This is a very high-quality competition, as Kent, Surrey, and Sussex—plus some other Counties on occasions—take part, and these are traditionally some of the strongest Counties in the country.

A Junior County Championship, normally mid-week, is usually held in early to mid-July. Districts enter teams and/or individuals in any of the following categories:
