Become an ATOM Official
The sport of track and field at both the high school and middle school levels is in need of individuals interested in officiating. The ATOM association strongly supports and encourages new officials to join both ATOM and the MHSAA. ATOM members are usually willing to mentor and help anyone who is interested in becoming a track and field official. If at a track and field meet, simply approach an ATOM official and begin a conversation.

From Others in The Field
“I would encourage you to join the association (ATOM). We meet several times during the year and also sponsor a clinic that I believe will now be held the first weekend of February. In a few areas of the state there are a couple of members of our association that do act as assignors but it’s all voluntary and we do it just to make sure meets are run efficiently and professionally. I want to wish you all the best and welcome you to the world of cross country and track and field officiating. I’ve enjoyed it for 47-plus years and will try to hold on for a few more.”
