Note for Parents:  The Return Times (R) on our schedule are best estimates.  Our competitions don't run on a clock.  The length of the event depends on the # of athletes competing which can vary from year to year.

What does an Athlete need to Be ready for the Track Season?

1) Proper Training Shoes.  This is the single most important peice of equipment.  A good everyday training shoe can protect the athlete's legs from the everyday running we do in practice.  Fleet feet sports (at wilson and lincoln) has a great selection and gives a 10% discount to our high school runners.

2) Warm clothes.   Hats, gloves, and Layers of athletic clothing are mandatory.  We do a portion of our daily training outside.  If purchasing UNDERARMOR for warmth please remember to get black so it may be used in competitions. (we all must match)

3) A Sports Physical that is less than 1 year old.

Fees and Equipment

*      All Athletes must pay a $10 athletic fee.

*      A free Track & Field Tee shirt will be given to all athletes who have submitted their player record card with physical and have paid the athletic fee.

*      Our competition uniform will be issued before the 1st meet and returned after the last meet.  These are purchased by Mather.

      *      Athletes are responsible for purchasing their own warm-ups.  Proper warm-ups are a necessary piece of equipment in track & field to prevent injury and keep athletes comfortable.  Once purchased athletes own the warm-ups and will not need to repurchase them annually.
