I would use the Containable behavior, and use that to specify which
model to return.
eg:
$contain = array(
'School',
'Competitor' => array(
'Trackmeet',
'Student' => array(
'School'
)
)
);
$trackmeets = $this->Trackmeet->find('all',compact('contain'));
or something along those lines.
that being said, it seems to me that students are competitors. I would
probably do a Student hasAndBelongsToMany Trackmeet and get rid of the
Competitor model.
