Track - (coed) - Spring Sport

Whitman Coed Track is the 2007 Middle School Champions!

Our philosophy is to have fun, build running strength, promote sportsmanship, and, at the end of the season - position our team in a way that will be able to compete in a strong manner in the All-City meet.

Track practices twice a week 2:30-4:00, beginning in March and going through mid-May.

There are generally four track meets during the season. Meets usually last until 5:00, The final meet is the All-City Meet, usually held at the Southwest Athletic Complex in mid-May.

We focus on sprinting, distance running and relays. We emphasize stretching, running and fun. It is a no-cut sport. Everyone runs. There are two distance events: the 1600 (four times around the track) and the 800. There's the 400 which is kind of a long sprint. The sprinting events are the 50 (sixth grade only), the 100, 200, 4x100 relay and the 4x200 relay. There are no field events.

We would love parent volunteers. Things parents have done in the past include:

• run concession stands during the meets
• helped with sweats shirt orders
• assisted with the team party
• helped with practices
• timed the events at the meets
