As we have done in recent years, we will be conducting tryouts for the
track & field team in order to keep the size of the team at a manageable number.
This will help to ensure that all athletes are being coached effectively
and that each event group has an appropriate number of athletes.

Making the team will be based on a combination of skills assessment,
skill potential, and a commitment to attending practices and meets.

Athletes will be divided into groups depending on the area in which
they want to conduct their tryout. If you choose to tryout in more
than one area, please let the coaches of those areas know, so they
are aware you are still interested in their group, but are trying other
events as well. Varsity and frosh-soph tryouts will be conducted
together in the same group.

Tryout groups are as follows:

• Sprints/Jumps/Hurdles combined
  (100, 200, 400, Hurdles, Long & Triple Jump, Pole Vault, High Jump)
• Distance Events (800, 1600, 3200)
• Throws (Shot Put, Discus)

Coaches in each group will review their assessments after the last day of
tryouts and decide who will make the team and to which group
they will be assigned. A list of athletes making the team and each group
will be posted on the main page of this website by Sunday, February 16th.

Athletes who made the team should show up to practice on Monday,
February 17th at 4:00 and report to the group in which they were assigned.
Any questions regarding group assignments or cuts should be directed
to the coach with whom the athlete tried out.
