It is finally time! The 2018 Track & Field Season is here, and we, as a coaching staff, couldn't be more excited!! Since the exciting conclusion of last year's season we have been anxiously awaiting the opportunity to see what this year holds in store! We are in an all new Region, and we're excited to see how we measure up! Hopefully you're ready to go too! There are several things we would like you to be aware of this year:
SEASON START
We will start our season on MONDAY, FEBRUARY 26TH at 2:30pm. If the snow is still on the ground, we'll plan to meet at the new Peaks Indoor Facility (located behind Salem Jr. High).
Practices will be held each day (M-F) throughout the season. It is imperative that you are at practice each day in order to improve and be allowed to compete! So we'll see you on Monday!

REMIND.COM
We will again be using a Texting Service to keep you and your parents in the loop throughout this season. It is free to use, and it allows us to contact the team in one message! All you need to do is text "@shhs-track" to 81010. Get on and do it right away! If you did it last year, you should still be a part of the group.
We also have a Parent's Group, for information that pertains to the parents. To join that group, send the message "@tf-parent" to 81010.

We will also be using Twitter throughout the season for information, results, pictures, and all things Skyhawk Track. Follow us @SkyhawkTrack.
We will once again use Instagram to share our exciting moments from throughout the season. Follow us @SkyhawkTrack to see our pictures of our successes!
TEAM GEAR
For our Team Gear ordering this year, we will be using an online service to help keep it simple and organized. There are a lot of different options on the website. NOTHING IS REQUIRED. I repeat, only order what you want (or order nothing...)! We want to provide several different options/combinations, but there is no expectation for you to buy what's there. That being said, if you are going to buy ANYTHING, buy the Team T-shirt! We will wear those to school on meet days sometimes, and we look sharp at meets when we all are wearing them!
The website is http://coachsassistant.gtmsportswear.com/skyhawktrack
We're going to do a pre-season order, which closes on Wednesday, February 21st. Then, we will do a second order with a deadline of March 7th. PLEASE BE SURE TO PLACE ORDERS BY THEN!

SPIKE NIGHT
We will again be doing a "Spike Night" to help get our athletes into a good pair of competition and/or training shoe. We have once again hooked up with our community's awesome running store--ENDURANCE ATHLETICS to do our Spike Night. They will have a wide variety of spikes/competition shoes as well as trainers discounted for our team that night. Not to mention a bunch of pizza for the athletes! It will be WEDNESDAY, MARCH 7th from 5:00-7:00 pm. Endurance Athletics is located at 735 N Main Street in Spanish Fork (in the shopping mall with The Italian Place)
SEASON SCHEDULE
I get asked all the time where to find the Meet Schedule. Well, you've come to the right place! There's several ways to find it here. At the top of this page is a tab that says "2018 Track Schedule." Or, you can scroll to the bottom of this page and look at the Google Calendar there. Or, you can click RIGHT HERE and download a copy of it.
MEET RESULTS
I also get asked all the time about where to find Meet Results (as you should ask!) We put all our season results up on www.athletic.net. It's a great website that provides a wonderful service to our sport. As soon as I have official results, I try to get them posted there. Not only can you look at the meet results, but you're able to compare times from throughout the season, or even across multiple seasons! Go check it out!
