Week 3

The track team had a successful week 2 that included a full time trial and the beginning of our shot put and long jump training. We have been told that it will not be possible to transport the athletes to the high school via bus for practice, we will have to do the best with the equipment and outdoor space we have at middle school. This also includes transportation for home meets. Athletes families will be responsible for getting them to the high school for home meets, which includes the day we return from break. The athletic department is working on transportation for our METCO athletes to get to the high school on home meet days. To participate in the first meet, families must have the athletic fee paid, use the following link to complete the process if you have not already done so: https://unipaygold.unibank.com/default.aspx (enter "Wayland Public Schools’ Athletic Program" in the search bar.)

We had a large amount of unexcused absences from practice last week. If you have not already communicated to the team any conflicts (eg: Honors chamber orchestra, jazz band etc...) please do so. All other absences need to be communicated to the coaches via email or note from home. Athletes who have several unexcused absences will be restricted from participating in meets.

Our first meet is fast approaching, but is somewhat inconveniently that day we return from break. Next weekend we will post some suggested activities for those looking to stay active over break as well as our line-up for the first meet.

Monday - practice at the middle school from 3:30-4:45

Tuesday - practice at the middle school from 3:30-4:45

Thursday - practice at the middle school from 3:30-4:45
- Practice Meet #2. We will once again race at WMS with our athletes trying out a different event from the first time trial. We will be wearing our jerseys to school for team spirit (please bring a check for $11 if you do not have a jersey). We may move this up to Tuesday if the weather continues to look questionable for this day

Friday - No School - No Practice
