My daughter plays AAU basketball and has been playing basketball for 7 years. She's had several coaches ask her about playing soccer and now asking her to do track. I coach AAU basketball and know some of the other girls do track and miss b-ball practices for track meets. Which I don't have a problem with. I just want to know how long does a track meet last? I mean if it starts at 4:30, what time would they be done? If someone could help me out, I'd appreciate it as I just got a phone call about her doing track and we need to make a decision asap. Thank you for your help.

3 to 4 hours sounds good if all goes according to plan.

at indian lake, the track meet lasted 5 hours, plus the bus ride home, another hour.

The times other zoomers have suggested sound accurate to me. If it helps your decision at all, typically their are fewer track meets than say softball games or basketball games during the season. I'm guessing typically one a week. Also because they last longer it seems they are often scheduled on Saturday afternoons.

most track meets during the week wont last longer than 3 or 3.5 hrs cause of school the next day.

meets on a sat. will last all day. (9-430 or 5)
