It is finally time! The 2019 Track & Field Season is almost 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 excited to see what talent we have and 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 25TH at 2:30pm at the SHHS Track. If the snow is still on the ground, we'll plan to meet at the Peaks Indoor Facility (located at the ALC building).
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! Practice is at 2:30 on Mondays, 3:00 on Tue-Friday. So we'll see you on Monday!

PAPERWORK
In order to be ready to go on Monday, you will need to do several things first:
1- Go onto RegisterMyAthlete.com and sign up for Track & Field. If you have done other sports at the high school, this is a quick, easy process. If it's your first time, it might take a few minutes. Either way, follow the instructions found HERE.
2- You must have a current PHYSICAL EXAM on file. Physicals are valid from July 2018 through July 2019. So, if you have had one done during this school year, it will count. If you haven't had one since last track season, you'll need a new one.
3- Pay your $60 Participation Fee to the SHHS Finance Office. This is required before you can participate.
PARENT MEETING
There will be a Parent Meeting for all athletes and their parents on MONDAY, February 25th at 5:00 pm in the SHHS Cafeteria. Please make every effort to be there! We will be registering for the season and going through all the necessary information for the season as well. Please be there!

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.

INSTAGRAM/TWITTER
We will once again be using Instagram and Twitter throughout the season for information, results, pictures, and all things Skyhawk Track. Follow us @SkyhawkTrack.
TEAM GEAR
For our Team Gear ordering this year, we will again 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! Athletes often like to wear those to school on meet days, 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 Monday, February 4th. Then, we will do a second order with a deadline of March 7th. PLEASE BE SURE TO PLACE ORDERS BY THEN!

SPIKE NIGHT
Our good friends at Endurance Athletics are closing their doors, unfortunately. As a result, they will not be able to host a Spike Night this year, as originally planned.
However, they will DEEPLY discount all their spikes (75% off) and trainers (35% off) this week Monday through Thursday (Feb 25-28). They will discount their products to the general public starting Friday, so get in there this week! We're going to miss our relationship with Tyler, Tori and the rest of the staff.

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 "2019 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!
