Event Selection Coaches will use conditioning workouts and the first two weeks of practices to evaluate athletes for certain events. We will put you in the event that best matches your ability level and will allow to have the most success. However you will be given the opportunity to have input into an event you feel best suits your talents. Those who are chosen to do multiple events should take it as a compliment.
