2016 Middle School Track Information

Wanted to post some preliminary information for families who may be joining us for the first time this season. First of all, everyone makes it - no tryouts :) We will begin on Tuesday, January 19th. Practice goes from 3:15-4:30 for middle school. Typically we practice every day, however, if there is a change for any given week I will email it to all families in advance. The first MS meet is on Tuesday, February 16th @ Keswick. There are three more regular season meets (the next 3 Tuesdays) and then the season ends with a Championship meet for the top athletes in each event - typically the 8th graders, but there are often several 6th and 7th graders who make it too. During the first few weeks the coaches will work with the kids and help them determine which events they will try. Once they figure that out, you can get a better idea of when she will be participating in the meets. The meets tend to be quite long, but there are only 4 so it's doable. Once we have the list of kids who sign up for track, I will send out a detailed power point to all families to explain how everything works. Hope that helps! See you soon. amy
