Track and Field
Each year, when track season begins we have may students from grades 3, 4, and 5 come out to try out for the track team. Tryouts and practices are held at lunchtime as well as after school. Our coaches are dedicated to training the children well and making sure they all have fun while training. We participate in our Zone Track meet that is usually held at the end of May and then our District Wide Finals. The Final track meet is usually held during the first week of June.
Our students do very well at both of these events as is depicted in the picture at the left. We encourage any students interested in track to come out for the team.
