Every athlete is part of the Track & Field Team. We value your commitment to this team. Although each of the 17 events is competitive at an individual level, the goal is to have the team score as many points as we are capable of scoring. Each athlete will be working toward his/ her personal goals while helping other teammates to reach their goals. Warm-up will begin at 2:45 pm and be done as a team. If you cannot be at the warm-up, please leave a message at extension 3187. You will be expected to do a complete warm-up at every practice. Each athlete will work on 2-4 events.

Remember: by joining this team, you are making a commitment to the entire group!
