Absences:

If you know your student will be absent from practice (other activities, events, appointments)... Please email [email protected] AND [email protected].  Make every effort to attend practice, as multiple unexcused absences may result in you not being able to compete in the meets, as track is a team sport. 

Meets/Events

Track is open to all genders of students in grades 6-8.  During competitions, 6th graders compete with the 6/7th graders and 8th graders compete separately against other 8th graders.  Boys and girls compete in separate heats at the same meets.
