Is your flash on-camera, or a separate unit? On-camera is useless for a
large open space, but a separate unit, especially if it has a zoom head,
can give just enough boost to help. Don't worry about blinding the
atheletes, all kinds of people are going to be blasting away with their
point-n-shoot cameras. Select about 1/45th shutter speed and second
curtain sync, if available.  You get a nice blur trailing the moving
figure and a sharp final image.

Or go B&W and rate it really high, 1600 or so.
