team by Canyons District bussing. Athletes are required to ride the bus to and

training, athletes will need to obtain proper running shoes. Track spikes or other event shoes are also

weather during track can vary a great deal.
Athletes need to be prepared for all weather conditions. Athletes should be prepared with clothing
suitable for hot, cold and wet weather each day. A good supply of sunscreen is also

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.

quickly. This could include making lane
assignments, timing, recording times, or judging an event.
