General 2024 Season Information

Practices:

Practices will take place Monday- Friday (3:45-5:30). There will be some Saturday practices (9AM-11 AM). Practices are mandatory. If you need to miss practice, you must clear it with the coach. (Academic or Family reasons only). Practice duration varies depending on the day and time of season.


Athletes should come prepared to practice with the appropriate footwear, jacket, sweats, and water bottle.


If rain is forecasted, Coach Smith will notify athletes/parents through Remind of any practice cancellations. A little sprinkle does not always mean practice is automatically cancelled. I will typically wait until 2 PM to officially cancel because of rain. Please always assume there will be practice. I will only cancel if we as a coaching staff decide the conditions make it unsafe to practice. 


Dual Meets:

Our dual meets will be held on Wednesdays/Thursdays. Athletes will travel by bus to and from dual meets. Athletes cannot drive themselves to meets.
If you need to drive home with a parent/guardian after the meet, you must fill out and submit a Release to Parent from Athletic Contest Form 24 hours before the meet. Please note the acceptable/unacceptable reasons at the bottom of the form.


For home meets, athletes are required to stay for the duration of the meet including the post meet team meeting and are only allowed to leave after their assigned event group clean up duties have been completed. 


In dual meets, we are allowed a maximum of four entries for each event per level (JV/V) per gender. We do our best to maximize the number of student-athletes participating in each meet, but realistically, not everyone will get to compete at every meet. Athletes are allowed to compete in a maximum of four events in a single track meet. 


Invitational Meets:

Invitational meets are Saturday meets that require athletes to meet a specific qualifying standard in order to be entered into the meet. Most often, these meets are for our top varsity athletes. Athletes must find their own transportation to and from these meets. Athletes are asked to arrive in the stadium at least 90 minutes prior to their first event and may leave after they have cooled down after their final event. We will have a team tent for parents and athletes to use throughout the day.

Length of Season:

Regular Season: The 2024 season begins February 5th, 2024 and ends at various times depending on the athlete. Our first dual meet is on February 22nd. The majority of athletes will end their season at our final dual meet on April 25th. Typically, but not always, the top 4 athletes in each event on the team will go on to compete at league finals on May 4th.
CIF Playoffs: Those who win their event at league or meet/exceed the established time standard will go on to compete at CIF Prelims on May 11th. Those who finish in the top 9 (or 12 depending on event) in their event at CIF prelims will go on to compete at CIF Finals on May 18th. Those who finish in the top 3 in their event or meet/exceed the at-large State standard will go on to compete at the CIF State Championships on May 24-25th.
