 In some sports, such as tennis and golf, a junior varsity meet will take place simultaneously with the varsity event; however, the scores are separately tabulated.In track and field, a junior varsity "heat" of a particular event may take place either before or after the varsity "heat" (again, implementing separate tabulation of meet results).An underclassman who plays on a junior varsity team one year is expected to gain enough experience to be one of the varsity players the next season.
