When will the team be posted? Teams will be posted by 9AM on January 31.
Where will the roster be posted? The roster will be posted in the boy’s locker room, and on the walls in the athletic hallway.
What is the travel team? The travel team is the team that will compete in and travel to the upcoming meets.
Is every player on the roster, automatically on the travel squad? No, the travel squad is selected before each meet. We choose the fastest runner, best thrower, and best jumpers every week.
If you don’t make the travel squad for one particular meet, can you try and make the travel squad the next meet? Yes, the team will test every week and if you have a better time/jump than someone who made it the previous meet, you will take their place.
Can you go the whole season without being in a meet? Yes, travel squad placement is based on the best performance recorded. Unfortunately, a player can improve weekly and still not make the time that gets him in the meet.
