TSB TRACK AND FIELD
AROUND THE TRACK AND ON THE FIELD AT TSB
The Tennessee School For The Blind track team is made up of a boys and girls squad. The team competes in track and field events with other schools in the North Central Association of School’s for the Blind (NCASB). Some of the events are sixty meter dash, sixteen hundred meter run, high jump, triple jump and numerous other running and field events. The season starts in August and runs through October. Each squad is divided into three classifications. The Classifications include:
- Class A is for students with total blindness, who may possess light perception, but are unable to recognize hand shapes at any distance.
- Class B is for students with a visual acuity of 10/200 in better eye after best correction and/or no better than five degrees of visual field.
- Class C is for students with a visual acuity better than 10/200 in the better eye after best correction or six degrees or better of visual field.
These classifications ensure that students with different visual functioning compete with students with similar visual abilities.
