BOYS & GIRLS TRACK

Practices
Practices are Monday and Wednesday March 31 - May 5 from 5:00PM – 6:30PM at the Dowling High School Track. Please have your child bring a water bottle and appropriate clothes for the weather. The team will practice in the rain unless there is lightening. 5th and 6th graders will not have practice April 9 and 16 due to 7th/8th grader meets.

Meets
Meets are at Dowling High School on the following dates. Your child will bring home a schedule of events they are participating in before each meet. Please call your coach below ASAP if your child will not be at the meet as the teams are counting on them. If your child can only be at part of the meet due to other conflicts, just let your coach know ahead of time. Rain cancellations will be determined at the time of the meet.

Everything Else

  • Uniform. If you ordered a t-shirt for your child, the shirt should be in before the first meet. Shirts will be the same design as last year. If you did not order a shirt, your child should wear a green t-shirt to meets or contact Lindsay to see if there are any extra uniform shirts for purchase. All athletes should wear black shorts.
  • Spikes.  7th and 8th graders will be allowed to wear 1/8” spikes this year.
  • Parent Pledge.  Please complete the parent pledge of conduct attached and return in your child’s Friday Folder.
  • Drake Relays.  There is a relay event Friday, April 25 for elementary and middle school athletes. More information will be available if the St Theresa entry is accepted.

Still Need to Sign Up?
5th – 8th grade students can still sign up for track. Just complete this form and send it in your child’s Friday Folder along with the $10 fee.

Help Needed at the Meets
We need a few parents to help at each meet. There will be someone there to show you what to do and your time is much appreciated as the coaches will be busy with the kids:
• Finish line: 2 parents per meet.
• High jump: 1 or more parents per meet
• Clerk: 1 parent April 13 and 16 to write down placement times and athlete numbers from the finish line parents.
• Tent: We need a tent for the 7&8th graders to make a team “camp”

To help, please contact Lindsay at the number below.
