Practice Cancelled Mar. 27

Both boys and girls middle school track practice is cancelled today, Friday March 27. Enjoy your weekend and we'll see you on the track Monday.

Also, we need about 10-12 volunteers to stick around and help at the high school meet on Monday. We primarily need people to help rake out pits, measure distances, record times/distances, etc. If your middle school runner is interested in helping out, we'll get them well fed for their efforts. Please let a coach know if you or your athlete can help out on Monday.

Running Club Cancelled for This Week

Sorry for the confusion with all of this, but we are cancelling running club for both today and for Friday. The wind chill at the end of the school day is supposed to be at or below 0 (and Coach Buckner and I have a meeting at 3:00 now), and we have a number of runners in the play so Friday isn't a good option either. We will start next week Tuesday now and the weather forcast at this point is looking much better for next week.

No running club today due to inclement weather. We'll try it again tomorrow. Please dress in layers; if weather allows we will be running outside even if its cold.

Track Season is Almost Here & Running Club

Good evening everyone. Track season starts Tuesday, March 24 afterschool. More information will be sent once us coaches sort it all out. 

Running club will be starting tomorrow afterschool until 3:30pm. We will be meeting in Senorita Buckner's classroom and going from there. All 6-8th graders who are not currently in SMS basketball or SMS wrestling are welcome to join us. We will be having running club on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday until the start of the season.

If weather is an issue (which tomorrow is not looking promising), we will make sure announcements are made at school and I will send an email out stating the cancellation.  

If you have specific track questions, I'll take them but I may not be able to give you a reply yet as there are four of us coaches and we still have some things to sort out. Have a good night.
