COVID testing for track

All members of the track team will need to be tested for COVID before they can come to practice. We will have a make up session for the track team Monday after school before practice.  In addition to the online consent form, there is a FERPA form that needs to be filled out as well.  The FERPA form needs to be turned in at the testing site the first time they get tested.  Here is a link to the form.

Track Season Announcement

Practice will being on Feb. 22.  Meet in the bleachers at the NW corner of the stadium. There are no tryouts, if you keep coming to practice, you are on the team.

COVID-19 testing will be mandatory, if you missed the testing on the 16th, we are working on a make up date, stay tuned to the instagram account 

Make sure you have the necessary permission forms completed.  There is a paper form that needs to be turned in your first time testing as well as the online form.  Both forms only need to be done once.

Get on registermyathlete.com  and complete the registration forms.  This needs to be done before you come to practice.

You will also need to get a physical.  The form can be found and submitted on the site.  You can also turn in the paper copy to the main office.

The participation fee for track is $75.  This can be paid on registermyathlete or in the main office. 

You will need appropriate gear for training.  You will need clothing for many kinds of weather, be prepared for anything. 

We have both team gear and optional gear.

Team gear will be purchased through the school.  Everyone will need to buy a $25 singlet, and shorts.  I have shorts and spanks available for $18 or you can provide your own.  The uniform shorts are plain black.  They can only have one logo and can't have the brand name on the waistband. 

We also have team jackets for $55 and team backpacks for $36.

Optional gear for athletes and parents will be available on a team store which will open next week.

UHSAA 5A Championships

The state meet this year has been moved to Soldier Hollow due to COVID restrictions on Salt Lake City.  

Online tickets will be required to be purchased for all fans attending the State XC event at Soldier Hollow. The tickets will be available for free through the UHSAA GoFan ticketing portal. All spectators and administrators will be required to show entrance to the Soldier Hollow event. Masks are required at both the Cedar High and Soldier Hollow sites. The UHSAA has closed ticketing for our race because of the number of ticket requests.  There is one part of the course that is probably accessible from places that are not technically part of the venue if you don't already have tickets.

There will be a limit on spectators, but we should be fine with 2 to 3 per runner.  The meet will be streamed at ksl.com

Waivers must be filled out for the venue if that didn't happen for the earlier meet at Soldier Hollow.

Here is a link to the course map if you want to see where you want to go to view the race.

for free. We will send you a link and a team code to use. Tickets are first come first

serve.

● Tickets are going to be limited, you will receive tickets based on your team size. No

spectator will be allowed without a ticket.

● The tickets coordinate with a seat in the bleachers.

● Spectators must sit in their assigned bleacher seats. They can’t change seats even if

there are available seats. They will enter only through the south gate. No congregating

around the track fence or finish line, etc... This is to promote physical distancing and

manage contract tracing. We are trying to keep spectators and athletes separated.

● From their seat, spectators will be able to see their athlete come around 3 times and

watch them finish.

● When their athlete finishes we invite spectators to exit the stadium through the south

gate.

Sandy City has shut down events in the past couple of months without any warning to the event

wear masks at the event, and to follow all of these rules.
