Track and Field (Spring 2013)

We are excited about the up-coming track season as we hope to continue our tradition by winning our 11th conference championship. Practice will begin on Monday, February 11th at 3:30 in the auditorium. Everyone must have a current physical (a physical is good for 365 days) on file with Coach Farlow or Coach King before that date. You cannot participate without it! To be eligible to participate, an athlete must have met the following requirements: The athlete must have passed 5 subjects from the previous semester (this includes Language and Math plus one other core class). You must also have had no more than 14 absences.

Practice will be held Monday through Thursday with Friday’s being used as make-up days if needed. We will announce in advance when a Friday practice will be scheduled. Practice times are 3:30 – 5:15.  The activity bus will run Monday thru Thursday. Car pool riders need to have rides here no later than 5:00.

Athletes are expected to attend practice and meets when they are tracked out. Your reliability is very important to our success. If you cannot attend a practice or meet, let the coach know in advance. Tracked-out athletes should call the school or e-mail at rfarlow@wcpss.net or jking4@wcpss.net if they are unable to attend. Extended vacations should be brought to the coach’s attention prior to the beginning of practice. This could affect an athlete’s ability to participate. Depending on the number of athletes participating there will be a “traveling squad” for away meets. This will be determined by meet and practice results, event limitations and coach’s discretion.

Generally, it is a good idea to call the school after 1:00 if you are tracked-out to be sure that there has been no change in the practice schedule (especially due to bad weather). Be sure to read over the team rules on the back of this letter for more information and expectations. Everyone is who participates is expected to be dedicated. Track is a sport that requires self-motivation and hard work.  Download the 2013 season schedule.
