FAQs

How do I know what to run?
During tryouts, coaches will make decisions on who should try what events in the meets during the season. Sometimes they will change through the season as needed.
 
How long is the season?
Tryouts will begin in February with practices following shortly afterward. Meets will occur through March and April. Depending on how well athletes perform will depend on how long the season will be.
 
Do I need specific running shoes like spikes for track?
No. At the middle school level spikes are not necessary. Some may find them helpful but you really just need a good, light pair of running shoes.
 
When and where will practices be held?
Practice will be held either at CHMS or Riverdale High School. Check the track & field schedule to see. Sometimes the weather and track availability change the schedule at the last minute, so please be flexible!
