Welcome again to the WMS Track & Field Team, please take a moment to read the introduction post below and the "Team Expectations" tab above.

You can use the links on the right to get email update notifications and google cal subscription (the calendar is also viewable at the bottom of the page).
Monday - practice at the middle school from 3:30-4:45
The first day of Spring Track will unfortunately feel a lot more like winter. Day one involves a lot of information and learning team norms. We will maximize indoor time for these portions but we will be going out for some light activity so bundle up! Our team meeting spot will be announced at the end of the day. First day topics will include:
- team expectations for practice and meets
- typical practice run down
- range of intensity of exercise
- striving for improvement
- learning your best events and who to practice with
- shoes and gear
- staying hydrated and bringing a water bottle, heat safety etc..
- Q&A
If time permits we will do sample sized workouts for both sprinting (6x100m) and distance (1 mile jog/walk) to help athletes figure out there place on the team
Tuesday - practice at the middle school from 3:30-4:45
Day two will see us slide into our normal practice routine which includes: team jog and dynamic warm-up, splitting up into distance and sprint squads, and regrouping for stretching and cool down. Eventually, we will be using the soccer field for many of these activities. The fields have not yet been approved for spring sport use. Until that time we will be warming up in the overflow parking lot/former DPW. Athletes should meet at the basketball courts to await the start of practice.
Thursday - practice at the middle school from 3:30-4:45
Friday - practice at the middle school from 3:30-4:45
IMPORTANT: Athletes who do not have an up-to-date physical will not be allowed to participate in any exercises at practice. If you are unsure about physical status please contact Nurse Yumi (yumiko_murai@waylandps.org)
We are very excited to get the season going. The hope is to have our first practice at the High School next week. Stay tuned!
