Track & Field
Team Pictures - Tuesday, April 30 - Info & Registration here
Track Parent Meeting, Virtual Only - CLICK HERE FOR THE RECORDING
Dear CIMS Athletes,
Welcome to the 2024 Co-Ed Track & Field Season! Practices will be held after school, Monday-Thursday, until 4:45 pm and Friday until 4:15 pm. IF WE HAVE INCLEMENT WEATHER, PRACTICES WILL BE MOVED INDOORS AND WILL END AT 4:15 PM. If meets are cancelled on the day they are scheduled to occur, we will NOT have practice that day. The season starts on Monday, April 8TH and will conclude with the District Meet on Friday, May 10th (which is by invitation only).
Boys compete against boys, girls compete against girls, and we have an 8th grade division and a 6th/7th grade division. Our 6th graders *do* compete against 7th graders because some middle schools in Douglas County have 6th grade at the elementary level and only house 7th and 8th graders. Don't let that deter you, though!
Event options include:
Sprints & Relays (100m, 200m, 400m, Medley)
Distance (800m & 1600m)
Discus & Shot
High Jump
Long Jump
Triple Jump
It’s ok if you’ve never tried these events before - that’s what middle school track provides: opportunities to try something new! We would love to have you join us with your completed physical and registration forms. Also, we understand what it means to be a multi-sport athlete and will work with you if you have a scheduling conflict with another activity. Just communicate with us; we are flexible!
Please join the "Talking Points" texting app by grade level. IF YOU HAVE MULTIPLE ATHLETES, PLEASE ONLY JOIN ONE CLASS:
6th grade code is PJZJA1
7th grade code is AQ8KM2
8th grade code is MZBDPZ
This is one of the primary ways that we will send information out to everyone, including changes in practice times, meets, etc. so it is important that you join. If you need assistance, please see the short video near the bottom of this page for instructions.
Spikes are NOT REQUIRED for running events, however, you are welcome to use them.
We hope we can count on you!

Important Dates and Track Calendar (updates will be ongoing)
SEASON MEETS: There is NO TRANSPORTATION TO OR FROM ANY MEETS! PLEASE PLAN ACCORDINGLY! Arrive to the meets as soon as possible after school (you do not need to leave school early as the coaches are all teachers who still have to finish their day as well). Please arrive in your uniform (either your jersey or your red Cimarron T-shirt, athletic shorts or pants, and tennis shoes). Warm up on your own or with some friends and then get to any FIELD EVENTS that you are signed up for. Once the TRACK EVENTS begin, listen carefully to the announcer so you know when and where to go for your running events (if you have any). They will announce "first call," "second call," and "last call" for all track events. If you haven't checked in with the coach that is running that event by that time, you will not be able to run in that event. Go to your field events as you are able to; check in with the coach that is running that event so they know you are present and if you need to leave that event to run a track event, check out with them as well.
