Winter Track begins on Monday, December 3. Please go to the sports center by 2:45pm, and sign in on the clipboard of your PRIMARY event group. (Sprints, Distance, Jumps, Hurdles, Throws, Pole Vault). I ask you for patience and understanding as there has been a high number of students who have signed up to participate. All groups will be learning the dynamic warm up and participating in a “special” introductory workout, applicable to all. Be prepared to be outside all week, bringing warm clothes, gloves, hats, etc.

ANY STUDENT WHO DOES NOT TURN HIS/HER INTRAMURAL PARENT SIGNED CONSENT FORM WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE. NO EXCEPTIONS. ANYONE WHO PARTICIPATES WITHOUT THE CONSENT WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE CLUB.

Warm-up distribution went well! Thank you to all who were patient with this process. If you did not order or receive a warm-up, we will distribute the rest on the first day of Winter Track.

Personal data forms for winter track were due last week, as Coach Susens will not be in school this week. However, since there was no school on Friday, you may still turn them in the BLUE folder located in Coach Susens room, 418, by Tuesday 11/20/18. Intramural consent forms can be turned in at any time between now and December 3.
