With "Test to Stay" this week, administrators informed me at the end of the school day that our regularly scheduled Friday testing is CANCELLED because they will be using "Test to Stay" results in their place.
If you DID NOT test on Tuesday, you MUST come to the school for testing at 7:30 AM on WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 20th to be cleared for practice. Again, there will be NO TESTING on FRIDAY. If you can not make it to the school for testing, you will need to arrange a test on your own and send your negative result to our Vice Principals Mr. Shaw or Ms. Tanner.
A new year, a new track season! Let's see where this one takes us.
First, read the COVID news. Below that is the schedule of important track dates. In 2021, all athletes and coaches must "test to play." This means that athletes MUST pass a COVID test every other week starting THIS FRIDAY, January 8th. A permission form MUST BE COMPLETED BEFORE TESTING. You will not be allowed entry without submitting the form. To practice, you MUST follow the steps below
THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS and there are NO MAKEUPS for missing the track team's scheduled time for testing. If someone shows up to practice and isn’t on the list of test results, they cannot be there. THIS WINTER, our testing takes place every other Friday at 10:15 AM in the Olympus High School Commons. If the time changes, coaches will let you know that week. OTHER EXPECTATIONS: Biweekly COVID testing IS NOT SOCIAL TIME. We take pride in our team being respectful, showing good sportsmanship, and helping each other in positive ways. Be respectful: wear a mask, be on time, wait patiently, AND say thank you. Be a good sport: smile, be friendly, AND do not complain or question this new requirement. Help each other in positive ways: provide support to teammates who may be confused AND do not ask people to share their test results- disclosing private health matters is a personal choice that should never be pressured. Winter/Preseason Workouts Coaches will meet with athletes ONLY on Tuesdays and Thursdays Friday 1/8 First biweekly COVID testing at 10:15 AM, paperwork must be completed beforehand Tuesday 1/12 at 2:30 PM - informational meeting and RMA registration Tuesday 1/19 START Tuesday/Thursday winter workouts and GET IN SHAPE! - 6:10 AM weight room sprinters/throwers (distance if interested) - 2:30 PM indoor track distance/mid distance/hurdles/jumps Tuesday 1/19 and Wednesday 1/20 get locker from Barnes (if you want one, not required) Monday 2/22 at 2:30 PM official practice begins (Monday-Friday, sometimes Saturday) Wednesday 3/17 Competition (track meet) at Brighton HS = "time trial"/results establish training groups and specialty |
