Track judges are placed at the finish line at track meets to see who finishes the race first. Their duty is to watch the lanes to see who's torso, which can be their head, neck, or shoulders, crosses the edge of the finish line first.

The track officials have many duties. Some of their duties include ruling on oral protests, ruling on placing's when the judges do not agree, deciding on matters when there is no official rule, checking on all of the results to ensure they are correct.

There are several officiating officials of Track and Field. The meet director has the job of overseeing and running everything. The function of the referee is to rule on things that take place on the track, for example a foul. The starter is tasked with beginning the race. The finish line judges watch carefully and make decisions on the race's finish.

A track official's job is basically to make sure everything is running smoothly, while the rules are still enforced by all participants.
