Ice Cream Party | Cornwall Results | All great things come to an end

Posted on 5/21/13 at 9:30 PM

 

There will be an ice cream party from 2:30-3PM for all athletes who completed the season in good standing. (If you quit or were kicked off the team due to attendance, you may not attend). YOU MUST TURN IN YOUR UNIFORM IN ORDER TO GET ICE CREAM. (don't worry about washing it) NO SHIRT = NO ICE CREAM! Location TBD...

The results from Cornwall will be posted soon. Despite the steamy weather conditions, many athletes posted their best times of the season. Be sure to check back and also chart your progress on the "all results" spreadsheet.

 

This has been a great season! We've seen some amazing talent develop over the past two months. 8th graders, be sure to join varsity track next year. Many of you will contribute a lot to the high school team. 7th graders, we hope to see you again next year. Think about joining cross country in the fall and indoor track next winter.

 

 

NO MORE PRACTICE | Invitational Results | Last Track Meet

Posted on 5/19/13 at 7:00 PM

 

There will be NO PRACTICE on Monday, May 20. (Your coaches have to help out at the Freshman Invitational at GHS). Go home at dismissal or come up to the high school and check out the freshman meet.

 

The results from our home invitational have finally been entered and uploaded: [BOYS|GIRLS]. Thanks to everyone who competed, helped out, and cheered on our athletes! We successfully hosted 19 schools from all over Section IX and beyond. Our boys came in 5th place overall. Our girls finished in 2nd place overall! Athletes should be very proud of these accomplishments. The Monroe-Woodbury Invitational was even more successful. Results from Friday's invitational will be posted as soon as they are received.

 

Be ready for the last meet of the season on Tuesday, May 21 at Cornwall. Athletes should report to the locker rooms at dismissal. We will leave CJH at 2:40PM.  Lineups are posted here, [BOYS|GIRLS] based on attendance and who signed up last week at practice.

Expectations

 

We have many goals for our athletes for the modified track & field season.  We want our athletes to have fun, but we also want our athletes to improve over the course of the season, learn how to compete in new events, develop themselves into competitive runners, and ultimately prepare for competition at the varsity level. 

 

In order for our athletes to achieve these goals, they must meet and exceed our expectations. To visit our complete rules and expectations page, click here.

Practice Information

 

March 19 - May 22:

Monday-Friday; 3:00-4:45pm

 

  1. Occasionally, we may need to cancel practice due to inclement weather.  Please listen to the announcements during the day and check the bulletin board outside of guidance. We will also post any cancellations or schedule changes here on our webpage.

 

All practices are mandatory!  If you miss more than three unexcused practices, you will be removed from the team.  In order for athletes to be eligible for a meet, they must attend a minimum of 12 practices.  

 

We will be doing a variety of workouts throughout the season.  These workouts include:  intervals, hills, plyometrics, sprinting, and distance.  We will also attempt to go up to GHS and use the track, when time permits. Coaches will provide advice and feedback in helping students choose different events, but athletes should self-evaluate and decide which events they prefer for meets.  

 

We expect student-athletes to work hard and push themselves during practice every day.  The only way to improve times and become better runners, is to put forth effort on a daily basis at practice. 

 

Athletes may experience minor aches and pains throughout the season --  this is normal.  If there are major aches and pains, please see a coach and/or a doctor (if pain persists).

 

Please arrange for transportation home between 4:45 and 5:00PM.  The late bus will leave at approximately 5:00PM.

 

See above for more information (rules & expectations) regarding practices.

 

 

Meet Information

 

Our meets are typically held on weeknights and usually begin between 3:30 and 4:30PM. Depending on the location of the meet, we will leave Goshen around 2:30PM.  Meets can last anywhere from 2-3 hours, depending on the number of schools competing and the size of the schools. 

 

We will allow athletes to sign up for events 2-3 days prior to the meet.  Athletes may sign up for 3 events total, but no more than 2 running events (2 running and 1 field or 2 field and 1 running).  We encourage athletes to try a variety events and we reserve the right to remove athletes from an event or switch them to a different event.  Certain more popular events will be capped off and preference may be given to 8th graders or those who have attended the most practices. The coaches will always decide who participates in relays. 


When we arrive at the meet site, athletes will drop off their belongings in one area, and then warm up as a team.  This includes a warm up lap around the track, stretching, and running drills. 

 

It is the athletes' responsibility to know the order of events and report to the officials prior to the event to check in. We will post and go over this information, but we cannot keep track of 100+ athletes and which events they are participating in. 

 

Invitational meets are for a select number of athletes. Coaches will decide who attends invitational meets based on attendance, effort, and performance.
