The Coach’s Archive: Why Analog Record-Keeping Still Wins
Any veteran coach will tell you: tablets are great until the battery dies or the glare makes the screen unreadable in the afternoon sun. A high-quality scorebook is the "black box" of your track program. It’s where PRs are born and where the history of your team is written. Our 2026 collection focuses on scorebooks that are specifically designed for the unique logistical demands of track and field and cross country, featuring heavy-duty covers and intuitive layouts that make high-speed data entry easy for your student managers and assistants.
Organized for Every Event on the Schedule
We stock specifically chosen scorebooks to ensure you have a permanent, physical record of your season's progress:
- Comprehensive Track Event Sheets: Dedicated space for lane assignments, heat times, and final placings. Our books include enough room to track everything from the 100m dash to the 3200m relay, with designated spots for wind readings and hurdle heights.
- Field Event Detail: Unlike generic notebooks, these scorebooks provide specific grids for vertical and horizontal jumps and throwing events. Track every attempt—including fouls—so you can analyze an athlete's consistency over the course of the season.
- Cross Country Specialized Books: We carry books specifically formatted for the harriers. These include dual-meet and invitational scoring sheets that allow for quick "place-adding" to determine team scores on the fly.
- Season-Long Durability: Featuring heavy-duty spiral bindings (that lay flat for easy writing) and water-resistant covers, these books are built to survive a full spring of travel and stadium bench use.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How many meets can I track in a single scorebook?
Most of our standard track and field scorebooks are designed to accommodate 16 to 24 meets. This is typically enough for a full varsity season, including dual meets, invitationals, and championship series.
2. Is there a difference between a track book and a cross country book?
Yes. Track scorebooks focus on heat-by-heat results for over 18 different events. Cross country scorebooks are streamlined to track a single race with up to 50+ runners, focusing on the "Top 5" scoring system and team point totals. We recommend purchasing the book specific to your season.
3. Do these books include space for "splits" in relay events?
Most of our professional-grade books include a "Notes" or "Comments" section for each event, which coaches frequently use to record individual 400m or 200m splits for relay teams.
4. Are the pages thick enough to prevent ink bleed?
Absolutely. We select scorebooks with high-quality, heavy-bond paper. This ensures that when you’re writing with a permanent marker or a heavy-ink pen, the results won't bleed through and ruin the data on the reverse side.
5. Can I use these for indoor track as well?
Yes. While the event lists in most books are based on outdoor NFHS/NCAA standards, they are versatile enough to be used for 55m/60m dashes, 300m/600m runs, and other common indoor events.
6. Do you accept school purchase orders for coaching supplies?
Definitely. Morley Athletic has worked directly with schools and universities for over nine decades. We happily accept school purchase orders. Athletic directors and coaches can easily submit a formal PO for scorebooks, stopwatches, whistles, and clipboards to outfit their entire staff.
