Track Class!!

Great job to everyone who participated in the distance challenge at the oval last Friday. Results can be found HERE. We had some great performances and it was a great place to see where we are starting. Remember it is still very early and we shouldn't expect to be running the best times right now. We will get there. Make sure you trust your coaches and keep putting in consistent hard work. This week we start our track class on B days so we will have practice a little earlier on Tuesday and Thursday of this week. If you aren't enrolled in the 8th period team conditioning class (track class) please do so this week.

If you have any incompletes in any of your classes you need to get those made up ASAP. If you don't do anything within 2 weeks it will turn to an F. Please make sure you are academically eligible to compete. If you haven't paid your $50 for indoor track please make sure to pay that to the office.

We also have another meet going on this Friday and Saturday. It is at BYU and there are events for all athletes.
