Track Information

Track season is quickly approaching next week! Our team will be coached by myself and Jim Walls with various parents helping out when their schedules allow. We would like to invite all students in grades 5-8 to come out for the team. Events include running sprints or long-distance, hurdles, high jump, long and triple jump, shot put, discus, and ball throw. Try one or try them all!

Practices will begin Tuesday, March 19, and will be Tuesdays and Thursdays after school until 4:30 p.m. Athletes must be at both practices each week to be on the team. We will practice outside at the school or in the gym if the weather is bad.

Meets are currently scheduled April 20^th and 27^th, and May 4^th. I have my next meeting with the Conference athletic directors March 18 at which point I’ll have dates nailed down for at least 2 more meets in April or May. The schedule as it stands is posted on the athletics blog of our website.

I hope that you and your child will please give this your prayerful consideration. Athletics is a terrific program to be able to offer at our school and we just need enough interest to make it available. Hope to see you soon! Contact me if you have any questions. Please complete the athletic contract and return to me by the March 19 practice.

Thank you,

Mrs. McLaughlin
