2009-2013 Track & Field Hosting Bid Announcement

The Illinois Elementary School Association (IESA) Board of Directors at its regular quarterly meeting in September, 2007, instructed the Executive Director to seek proposals from member schools interested in hosting the IESA Class A and Class AA State Final Track and Field Meets for the years 2009-2013.

Please click here to see the hosting requirements. Should a school decide to offer to host, then please read and follow the instructions below.

Any IESA member school may submit a proposal to host one of the two meets. It is the intent of the Association to award the state final contract to two schools that will utilize the same facility on consecutive weekends. The principal of the school submitting the proposal must go online to the IESA Web Site at www.iesa.org, sign into the "Member Center Login" using the school password and then click on "Host Interest Forms." On the Host Interest Form screen choose which state track and field meet (Class A or Class AA) in 2009 you wish to host. Once a school has indicated their interest in hosting one of the meets, the IESA Office will send a Facilities Survey to the principal of the requesting school.

The deadline for returning the Facilities Survey, is December 21, 2007. The school offering to host shall guarantee that all Hosting Requirements will be met each year from 2009-2013. The Board of Directors will approve the state final meet(s) site at its January 18, 2008, meeting.
