Description:

Boys' and Girls' Track and Field includes multiple competitive events where student athletes refine their skills in practices and competition.  Team work, commitment, and dedication to improve throughout the season are nurtured by their coaches.  Many competitive High School Athletes have come out of Â鶹Íø Track and Field programs.

The five Middle Schools and seven K-8 schools may participate in the Â鶹Íø 7/8 grade Championship track and Field Meet.

Who Participates:

Track and Field is not a tryout sport,  All who wish to play need to show up to practices, participate in P.E. units, and work hard, and learn how to compete in their events.  Coaches may have athletes tryout for specific events, if the interest is more than can participate in a meet.  Tryouts are based on skills of the events.  Other factors taken into account during tryouts - grades, behavior, communication, sportsmanship, and good team work.   Typically, teams can have up to 30 athletes. 

Prior training:

Track and Field is highly competitive.  Having previous experience is helpful for being the representative for the school in certain events.  Anyone interested should practice the fundamental skills.
