How do you feed the athletes? Do they need to bring money to track meets?

We will provide snacks and water during the "regular" season. We encourage athletes to pack food or bring some money, most venues have a concession stand.

H.E.B. I.S.D.  will feed athletes at the District, Area, Regional & State meets

Will meets still be run if it is raining/cold?

We will comunicate meet status on Sports You & our website. Usually lighting in the area or an unsafe suface are the only things that will cancel a meet.

Email your athlete's event coach or one of the head coaches
