Hi all, with the weather looking like it is only going to get worse today we are going to cancel practice on the track. However, see below for a workout to do on your own either today or tomorrow.

Distance: 45 min run with 10 min of tempo included.

Sprinters: use below link

We will officially start pre-season practice next week!

These practices are part of DPS sanctioned off-season training protocols that require ALL ATHLETES TO COMPLETE THE FOLLOWING COVID WAIVER (link below) BY THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 18TH @ 5PM.

If the waiver is not complete by this time there will be no exceptions made and the athlete will have to wait 3 weeks until the next session.

After we have everyone signed up, I will update everyone with practice dates/times.

Hello East Track & Field,

Today (2/3) is National Girls and Women in Sports Day. Would love to invite our lady athletes to a virtual event during lunch today, with influential women panelists from our very own community. You will have an opportunity to chat and ask questions with our panel as well as learn a little bit about them. Info is below, hope to see you there!

FYI – in-person practice on the East Track is still cancelled for this week as originally planned for session 8. The previous post was for the East Cross Country Virtual Running Club. We will keep you updated with any news regarding the restart of off-season training for Track & Field. Thanks! – Coach Tasker

Due to the lack of sun and the increase in covid cases, we are changing the running club schedule.

In December, the group will only meet once a week on Wednesdays, depending on your school schedule, at 9:30am or 3:00pm at the big E. This will cut down on the size of the group and allow you to run in daylight. During winter break, we will not meet.

The other days will be virtual or you can meet and run in small groups. We will post training schedules for those training for 5Ks and another set of training schedules for those training for an April half marathon. See Final Surge for workout details.

We will not run a 5K in December. If cases decrease, we will try to run a 5K in January. If they increase, we won’t.

Remember masks and social distancing are required at practice. You can remove your mask during your run, but they must be worn at all other times.

We hope you all had a nice fall break!!

Sorry for the post about letters and academic awards. Those are for our XC distance runners.

Track and Field awards will be awarded after the T&F season. We are so excited for the 2021 track & field season, stay tuned for more details on pre-season workouts and info on the season.

We will pass out letter and academic awards on Thursday, November 19 from 4:00 – 4:30pm on the Esplanade by the E. If you didn’t get your covid, four year award, or cookie, those will also be available.

If you haven’t returned your uniform, you can also do this at the same time.

This is “drive by” style.   Wear your mask and drive on by!  

Hope to see you tomorrow!
