The Hap Rapp Memorial Track Meet is the oldest community service project of the Camarillo Rotary Club. The Meet began in 1960, when local Rotarians created a first-ever organized track and field competition for local boys and girls at the elementary and junior high school levels. There were only a few schools then, but the Meet has grown with the community, and now, hundreds of young people representing more than a dozen local schools compete each year. The Meet was named the Hap Rapp Memorial Track Meet in 1988, in honor of late fellow Rotarian and friend Hap Rapp, who devoted so much of his time and talents to the event over many years. Ribbons are awarded for first- through fifth- place in each event, and high point winners in each class receive a trophy. Another award, the Guy Craig Memorial, named after the Charter President of the Camarillo Rotary Club, is presented to the school which demonstrates the best preparedness, sportsmanship, conduct at the meet and cooperation in all events.
