Sign ups for the 2019 Track & Field Season are closed - Athletes who sign up after Feb. 3rd will be added to the wait list. If you are signed up already you have been added to the team!!
Track & Field is a competitive sport, all athletes must attend meets on Saturday, to be on the team. There will be no practice only athletes.

We have reached the point that we just can no longer accept athletes who only want to practice on our team, that takes away our coaches time in training our athletes who do compete, so our policy is that we do not accept practice only athletes.
