Things to think about prior to attending tryouts:
– Athletes can request event preferences for tryouts; however, flexibility is expected.
– Roster priority will go to athletes who have multi-event interest and potential.
– Field Events will be roster-limited, primarily Varsity level.
– Track Events for Spring: 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m, 1600m, 3200m.
– Varsity Athletes will be expected to cover 2 to 4 events at meets.
– Participation in Indoor Track & Field does not guarantee a roster spot for Outdoor.
– Varsity assignments will be based on structuring a team to cover 18 events competitively.
– Athletes can be moved from JV to Varsity or Varsity to JV anytime in the season.
