Parent Night & Spike Night

We will have a meeting for the parents of our track athletes Tuesday March 1st @ 6:00 pm in room C230.

We will go over expectations, shoe and gear information and talk about spike night. We will also watch a mandated video about hazing.


Spike Night will be on Thursday March 3rd @ Wasatch Running Center 8946 S. State St.  The shoe experts at Wasatch will be there from 5 pm to 8 pm to answer questions and get your athletes in the right shoes for their events.  Shoes purchased that night get a little extra discount, see the spike night flier for more information.

Meets:  Captains will lead the team in a team lap and stretch before the meet begins.  Each athlete will be responsible for warming up before his/her individual events.
