6th Grade Hexathlon
Sixth Grade Hexathlon
On Friday, May 3, 2024 Highlands Ranch area elementary schools will host a Sixth Grade Hexathlon. This event will be held at EchoPark Stadium in Parker from 9:00 AM - 2:00 PM.
Our Coyote Creek team will have 18 members made up of 9 boys and 9 girls. Selection of the athletes for our team will be based on:
Citizenship in school (Responsible & Respectful in all classes)
Academic expectations in the classroom (work completed and turned in on time)
Physical abilities (Try-Out: PACER, Shuttle Run, Softball Throw)
Meeting and exceeding CCE PAWS expectations
All of the above will be used to determine whether a student is eligible to be on the team. Physical ability will be determined through try-outs. All students who want to be considered for the Coyote Creek team will need to try out. Try-outs will consist of a softball throw for distance, shuttle run for time and PACER for endurance. Students who wish to try-out for the team must have a signed parental consent form and commitment sheet with classroom teacher approval. This form must be turned in before the tryout date. A student will not be eligible to try-out if this form has not been signed and returned to Mrs. Balfe before their try-out. Try-outs will be held during PE classes.
Once our team is chosen, each student making the team will bring notification home with information about practice times, dates, t-shirt size, parent drivers, etc. There will be a minimal cost to purchase a team t-shirt ($15). Practices will be on the grass field at Coyote Creek from 7:45-8:20 AM. There will be one practice at the TRHS track. Attendance at all practices is expected except in the case of illness.
