INDOOR/OUTDOOR TRACK TRYOUT STANDARDS
Athletes will be required to try out in two "consecutive" events (ie: 100m & 200m, 800m & 1600m), according to the group they intend to train/compete in (distance vs. sprints). In order to make the team, they must achieve one of the following performance standards in either/both of the events. Freshmen who do not make the standard during tryouts must meet the standard prior to competing in a meet. The tryouts will take place on two days: Day One- 100m, 1600m & 400m; Day Two: 800m & 200m. A third day will be held for any athlete who did not run in both days, or otherwise meet a standard in either of their events. All times listed are hand-timed.

The above listed standards are used for qualifying to receive a letter,
or compete at the district, regional, state or national meets. We can send three
athletes to districts in each event, regardless of their performances.
We can send more than three if everyone has met the standard. To compete
at regionals, the top six in each district advance; to compete at the
state meet, the top six in the region advance. Anyone who has met the
automatic standard during the season automatically qualifies regardless
of how they place at the district or regional meets.
For lettering purposes, anyone who meets a standard may letter, even
if they do not participate at districts. This is also contingent upon
meeting all other requirements, including attendance, sportsmanship,
and participating in any fundraiser and attending the team dinner.Lastly,
for lettering purposes, you qualify based upon your splits, not your
team performance.
