Friday Practice

Today and tomorrow JV and Freshmen have the day off, for today do the preseason workout for Friday and for tomorrow there will be a home workout posted here. Lifting groups and throwers will meet at woodman field immediately after school today.

Clearance

A new clearance list has been posted. Please check to see if you have been added. If you aren't on the list stop into the athletic office to see exactly what you are missing and how you can get cleared.

Day 1

If you signed up for winter track and field and plan on participating this season you are expected to be at practice today. This is true for everyone, not just those on the clearance list; I am working with the athletic office and nurses to get more athletes cleared before the day is done so more will be cleared in time for practice and will be informed there. If you miss that counts as an unexcused absence and three of these will result in athletes being asked to leave the team.

Family ID

Family ID has been reopened, it will close on Friday Nov. 16th. That being said there has been an update to the try out schedule. An updated roster will be posted later this evening so please keep an eye out, the majority of you that aren't cleared do have everything in we are just waiting on administration to sign off on all documents and update your status in the system.

Winter Track

Just a reminder family ID will close on November 12 if you are not registered for a winter sport by then (even if you have paperwork in from the fall) you will not be on the roster. Even if you need a physical or impact test please do not wait to have those before doing family ID. It's best to do family ID first then get the paperwork in. Please get everything done as soon as possible as you can not try out if you are not cleared. An updated roster has been posted; as of now we have 126 athletes on the roster and only 52 are cleared. If your name is not on the roster send an email to runningmounties@gmail.com and you will be informed as to why you are not cleared.

If you have any questions of why you are not cleared please send an email to runningmounties@gmail.com so it can be clarified. The last day to register on Family ID is November 12th. If you take a physical the paperwork must be turned into the athletic office so it can be signed off and approved by the school doctor. Please get everything done as soon as possible as you can not try out if you are not cleared.
