Track and field awards go to athletes who placed at a school sports day, a club championship, a county meet or a cross country race. Coaches, PE departments, athletics clubs and meet organisers give them at the end of the meet or at a season's presentation night. If you need a cross country certificate template or one for a sprint, a relay, a jump or a throw, the same rules apply: the result is the point.
A good award names the event and the round, gives the place and the mark that won it, such as a time to the hundredth of a second or a distance in metres, and carries the date and an official's signature. Personal bests and season bests are worth a line too.
The designs here come as certificates in A4 and US Letter and as badges, so the athlete can frame one and share the other online.

FAQ
Questions, answered
PB is a personal best: the athlete's fastest time or longest mark ever in that event. SB is a season best: the best mark this season. Result lists flag them next to the mark, and an award can carry the same flag, which matters a lot to young athletes.
At a school meet it is usually the PE teacher or the head teacher. At club and county level the meet referee or the meet director signs, and clubs often add the head coach. Use the people who confirmed the results.
Any event on the programme: sprints, hurdles, middle and long distance, relays, the jumps (long, triple, high and pole vault), the throws (shot put, discus, javelin and hammer) and combined events. Write the event as the result list names it, including the age group when there is one.
Use the official result as it was recorded: sprints and hurdles to the hundredth of a second (10.84 s), longer races in minutes and seconds (4:32.10), and jumps and throws in metres to the centimetre (5.62 m). Add the wind reading only when it was measured.
Yes. Change the event, the program name and the result line in the studio. A cross country result is usually a finishing place and a time over a set distance, such as 3 km or 5 km.
