Qualifying for Track Meets Each week, the athletes will be timed/measured by their event coach. The top three athletes for each event will attend the track meet for that week. If your athlete doesn’t make the cut that week, they will not attend the track meet that Thursday. The coach will re-time/re-measure each week to determine who will attend the following week’s meet. The athletes will know by Wednesday if they are attending the meet.

Track Meets At each track meet, the coaches are assigned to work a variety of jobs to help run the meet. This means that his/her coach may not be there to remind them to warm up or check in with the start clerk. Athletes will need to make sure they show up at their event on time. *We trust that athletes will get to where they need to be without needing to be reminded.

Track Meets ALL Field Events begin at 4:30 p.m. Running events begin at 5:15 p.m. ***All spectators are expected to remain in the stands during running events. Please do NOT come onto the field except to sign your athlete out for the evening*** Track uniforms are to be turned in every Friday during the athletic class period. Do not wash them!!! Coaches will wash them all together!!!

Transportation All athletes MUST ride the bus to the track meet. As soon as your athlete’s event is over, they are allowed to leave AFTER signing out with a coach. *If your athlete leaves without signing out, they will not be allowed to attend the following track meet.
