Honoring The Best and Brightest Track and Field, Cross Country and Indoor Track Athletes in the Greater Charlotte Region

2nd Annual Charlotte Track and Field Awards To Be Held Sunday April 30th

After attracting a sell out crowd of over 400 guests for the 1st Annual Charlotte Track and Field Awards last year, we are set for year number two. The event honors track and field and cross country Student Athletes in the Greater Charlotte Region. Recognizing athletic success, leadership, character and academics are the primary goals of this star-studded event. On April 30th, the track and field and cross country communities will gather at the Sonesta Park Hotel to honor the best and brightest student athletes that have worked so hard over the last year to achieve success.  

 

This prestigious awards night has become a very special evening for athletes, coaches, teams, families and friends. This is the one night of the year when the entire Greater Charlotte track and field and cross country communities come together as one to recognize outstanding achievements on and off the track and cross country courses.

 

 

The Charlotte Track and Field Awards Dinner was founded as a sister event to the 16th Annual Greater Charlotte Hot Stove League Baseball and Softball Awards Dinners. Inside the family, owner Tripp Roakes also operates the 5th Annual Charlotte Lacrosse Awards and the 11th Annual Charlotte Football and Cheer Awards. Roakes, Founder of South Charlotte Sports Report and South Charlotte Sports operates the events to provide a special spotlight onto local student-athletes and their families, rewarding them for all the time and dedication they have given to their sport.  

 

 

Nominations are now open at www.CharlotteTrackandFieldAwards.com and will be open until March 20th Finalists will be notified at that time of their selection and will begin to prepare for the special evening. Over 20 awards will be presented to the top high school and middle school student athletes and all finalists will be recognized at the 2nd Annual Charlotte Track and Field Awards Dinner.
