Track and Field

• Masks/face coverings must be worn at all times by all student-athletes and coaches when indoors.

• When outdoors and practicing individually, student-athletes may practice without a mask/face covering while taking part in individual training and can maintain 6 feet of distance from others.

In events such hurdles, pole vault, high jump, and throwing events, where there is a higher risk of danger when competing with a mask/face covering, it is recommended that masks/face coverings not be worn.

• During outdoor competition, student-athletes do not need to wear masks/face coverings when they can maintain at least 6 feet of distance from others at all times.

Yea!  Track season is just around the corner. Registration opens February 22. First official practice will be after spring break on Monday, April 5th at 3:15pm on the track.  To register use the link below.

MSHSL requires athletes to have a sports physical dated within the last 4 years instead of 3 years as the MSHSL has extended the dating one extra year for this school year only due to covid-19 in-person restrictions that have been in place periodically.

If they want to check to see if their physical is up-to-date, they should first look in their student’s Skyward or SSO page and click on their student’s Health drop down, then click on Physical to view the latest physical date we have on file. Again, if the date is current within 4 years, and remains current for the full sport season, then they will not need a new one

As I do not have contact info yet for freshman and newcomers please share this with them as well.
