EHS TRACK & FIELD TEAM!!!

After 2 years, tomorrow, we return to Track & Field competition. Be sure to take a moment tomorrow and just take it all in. Enjoy the process and the opportunity to compete. We take 1 day at a time, as we don’t know what the next will bring. Be sure to hydrate, stretch, roll, and fuel properly in these last 24 hours to prepare for your competition. It has been a joy to coach you all, and we are eager to watch you compete. We had to adjust arrival times a bit, so please see times below. Warm-ups can’t be done as a team anymore, so when you arrive, warm up when you are scheduled to compete. Coaches can not do screenings after 2:40pm as we need to focus on coaching for the meet.

Sprinters and Hurdlers arrive 2:10pm for screens
Distance and Pole Vault arrives 2:20 pm for screens
Throwers, Jumpers, and Development 2:30pm for screens
Meet begins at 3:30 pm

• Tomorrow night, Wednesday 3/17 at 7:00 pm, please join us for a brief introduction of the 2021 Track & Field Coaching Staff and amazing Booster Club in a virtual meeting! We will also have shoe wear/spike information to share, and will be available to answer questions about the Track & Field season. Zoom link was sent via email.

• This season is surely like no other, and we realize it may be a bit overwhelming. We will try to keep this meeting to 45 minutes to 1 hour max.

• As a head’s up, practice on Monday 3/22 will be at 2:45pm – 5:45 pm for all athletes as we are distributing uniforms and taking individual and team pictures. This is a process, so actual workout/practice time won’t begin until 4:15pm. If athletes have prior commitments, and can not stay beyond 4:30 pm, it’s OK. Please communicate with your event coaches prior to Monday. Next week’s weather looks glorious, enjoyable, and in the 60’s! It shouldn’t be too hard to stick around.

The EHS Track & Field staff couldn’t have asked for better weather or a better turnout for 2021 Spring Track Tryouts! Bravo to all athletes for your cooperation!
