Sprinter practice is on for tomorrow (Tuesday) and Thursday during 7th hour and after school.
Wednesday is the home meet - see the information below.
Friday is a varsity meet at Queen Creek HS - starting at 10am - so top 3 athletes per event will travel and may miss some school. See www.arizonatrack.com under schedule/results to see the meet info. For Sprinters/jumpers/hurdlers/throwers who do not travel will do a weight room workout right after school on Friday.

All track event winners will set the HS stadium record and this is our only home meet this season. Many people will come out to see the new facility... should be a great meet.
It is a normal dual HS track meet - starting at 3:30, scoring varsity. If we can identify non-varsity easily from the 'wingfoot' seeding, we can score the JV meet as well.
