WMS Track Season 2018

 

Tell me about it:

  • WMS track is a sport team offered to 6th, 7th, and 8th grade boys and girls.
  • It is a no cut sport which means all who try out will be on the team.
  • We send one bus of approximately 48 athletes to each track meet (except for the WHRHS Invitational Meet at Greenbrook where all members of the team, in good standing, get to compete). More than one bus load of athletes results in a lengthy, unmanageable meet.
  • The bus capacity is 48 athletes. We usually have 24 boys and 24 girls.
  • The athletes with the fastest running times, farthest jumps, and longest throws during practice compete at the meets.
  • Athletes who cannot attend a meet are replaced with the next qualified athlete so that we always have 48 on the bus.



Practice:

  • Practices are held approximately three to four days per week depending on meet schedule, rainouts and weather.
