Preseason: Preseason prep is crucial to being prepared for the first day of practice. Core workout, easy running, lifting, etc should start today. Distance - EASY run, 30-50 minutes 6x a week. I’m at NHS most days at 2:45 outside of the auditorium with indoor track, everyone is welcome to join. Join the distance remind for more information. Sprinters - core 4-5x per week, hip flexors 3-4x per week, easy run 4-5x per week Throws
Practices Monday-Friday: Distance 3:00-4:30, Sprints 3:00-5:00. Throws: Jumpers may be a bit later. Saturday: 9:00am @ the track. Be ready to practice at start time. Running shoes/clothes, water, spikes (if you have them) is all you need for practice. A watch is highly recommended but not mandatory. Doesn’t have to be anything special like an apple or gps watch, just something to keep time. Anything not needed for practice (cell phone, airpods, etc) can be left in your bag/backpack for the duration of practice. Meets
Meets typically fall on Tuesday afternoons beginning at 3:45 and are usually about 2.5-3 hours long. We will add a few invitationals to the schedule once we find out their dates. Those meets are usually on a Friday or Saturday and are longer than a regular meet. There will be some away meets where we only bring our varsity athletes. For home meets, we will all meet at the track at 2:45pm for meet setup. For away meets, the bus will leave the track at 2:45pm.
Athletes can compete in up to 4 events per meet. Events are: Relays: 4x100, 4x400, 4x800 Sprints: 100m, 200m, 400m Hurdles: 100/110m, 300m Distance: 800m, 1600m, 3200m Throws: Discus, Shot, Javelin Jumps: Long jump, high jump, triple jump, pole vault
