Student-Athlete Study well to workout well! Take care of yourself! Good sleep is necessary to be a highly competitive athlete!

Practice Team members come to team practice. – Unlike some other activities, track & field development must occur regularly. Missing complete days on a regular basis is not moving in a positive direction for individual or team development! After school at school from 3-4:45p.m. (usually) Some days off at Tyler State Park (mostly for distance) Dress appropriately. It is winter; it is cold. We train outside almost all the time!

Shoes See Coach Meistering’s Shoe Advice on the Track & Field Website Your shoes are critical to being injury-free. Good shoes help prevent injuries to your feet Help prevent injuries to your ankle, shin, knee, hip, and even your back. All shoes should pass the “bendy” test (borrowed from an Div. I All-American Runner who is a podiatrist)
