Students can not leave with another parent with out written notice from their parent. Water is the only thing provided at the track meets. FOOD AT MEETS: There is usually a concession stand available but not guaranteed. Athlete’s need to bring they’re own snacks.

11. TRYOUTS Tryouts are by events. First week of practice kids can try all the different events. First day of practice is Monday, Feb. 23 rd. No full team cuts will be made. Specific events may have practices limited to meet participants for that week. Meet entries will depend on: Practice attendance, students availability, times/distance, & practice performances. The top 6-10 participants in each event will most likely be entered in a meet sometime during the season. Field events- may have smaller numbers they are able to enter. Running events have more kids, but more events too.
