First Practice April 8th and First Meet @ Mahtomedi April 10th.

With the weather's cooperation we are excited to start the track season and have our first meet right away.   This is a time trial meet without relays or field events. We will leave right after school for Mahtomedi's track.  The bus will return upon completion of the meet. Best guess is we'll return between 6:30pm and 7:30pm. Please be available to pick up your athlete. We'll have students call from the bus while driving back to school.

Meet Expectations

All athletes need to be prepared for their events. If you sign up for certain events you are responsible for participating in those specific events and reporting to them on time! You are encouraged to cheer on all other athletes from Inver Grove Heights during the entire meet. You are expected to stay for the entire meet (even after your events) and strongly recommended to ride the bus home with the teammates. If for some reason you need to leave the meet early, you must have a parent come and sign you out with a coach. You are NOT allowed to leave with anyone but your own parents. The locker room will not be open until after home meets. If for some reason you need to leave a home meet early, you must bring everything you need to bring home out to the track. Custodians will not open up locker rooms.

You live in Minnesota! Anticipate snow, cold, wind or rain everyday. Be prepared to add or remove layers of clothing to stay comfortable. When we go to the meet, you must be dressed appropriately for the weather. If not, you will NOT be allowed to board the bus. Possible clothing includes hats, jackets, thermal socks, gloves/mittens, sweat pants, long underwear, tights, wind proof shell and running shoes.

Making sure we are prepared for meets will improve performances and make competition a better experience for all.
