2024 DHMS Track Information
There will be a more formal letter made available before Spring Break and an in-school meeting in the first two weeks after Spring Break, but here's some of the top-line pieces of information that many people will want to know and will be covered more extensively soon.
The season will run from April 17th through May 30th
The signup window for track will be from Now - April 24th
Just like other sports, you need to have a paid activity fee and a physical on file with the school. https://admin.mypaymentsplus.com/Activities/ActivitySearch/ < this is where you'll pay that fee
The fees are called: 23-24 DHMS Boys Track and Field 7th 8th Grade & 23-24 DHMS Girls Track and Field 7th 8th Grade
Non-meet days will be practices up at Northview track. With school being out at 3:10, students will be expected at the Northview track changed and ready to go no later than 3:25 (this may change –whether made later or earlier– based on the size of the team as well as the team getting used to how practices will begin).
For indoor practice, students should meet in the cafeteria (these will be announced via the Schoology group as well as the loudspeaker at the end of the day).
Practice will be finished at 4:45 in order for studenst to make it to Activity Busses afterward. If there's ever a reason that a practice needs to be scheduled to end early, I will send that out in an email ahead of time.
Meet days will typically leave at the end of the school day with meets aiming to start by 3:45 pm (and definitely no later than 4 pm) at their location. The length varies from meet to meet based on attendance, weather, and the position in the overall timeline of the season, but they are typically finished by 6 pm. Students will ride the busses from DHMS and are expected to return on the bus unless there is a filled-out release form in the coach's posession and grown-ups have contacted Coach Frost to let him know of the athlete being picked up.
We're excited to see your student athletes this year. Again, more information will be coming out as soon as possible, thank you for your patience and for your interest.
2024 DHMS Track Schedule
If it's a school day, you should assume there will be track practice.
There may be times we warn you in the days ahead that there won't be practice, and other times there may be last-minute Schoology and loudspeaker announcements that practice has been cancelled, but aside from those times, assume that track is on for the night.
With the track season starting in mid-April, there will definitely be indoor practices while we await better spring weather. For those practices, be ready at the same time after school but in the cafeteria.
Our meet schedule for the season is currently as follows:
* Wed, 24. Apr @ 3:45 - Eagan High School
Wed, 1. May @ 3:45 - Eagan High School
* Wed, 15. May @ 3:45 - Eagan High School
Wed, 22. May @ 3:45 - Rosemount High School
Wed, 29. May @ 3:45 - Eastview High School (all-district finals, boys & girls)
* - we host this meet, so we'll be asking for volunteers
General DHMS Track Information
Middle school track presents the opportunity to push yourself beyond the limits of your stride; whatever you may think your upper limits of speed, distance, height, or effort may be, we're here to try and go beyond that.
Whether you're here to pursue a passion in one or more of the track & field events, to train to be a better athlete in the off-season of another sport, or to get out and be active after the long Minnesotan winter, DHMS track is a great place to be with, encourage, and challenge your friends (and make new ones, too!).
Whether you're a returning track veteran or you're interested in trying it out for the first time, you're in the right spot. We give students the opportunity to learn brand new events as well as improve on those they're already familiar with. So if you show up ready to run, listen, and learn, you'll leave the season more in shape and with more know-how than when you started!
See you on the track!
