Welcome to BRMS Track & Field. I am excited to begin this adventure with you.  Your progress in this sport is dependent on following a training program and learning how to best apply the teachings to each event. But having “FUN” exploring the sport is the goal. The following are the events offered: 

100/200/400 (sprints)

100/110 hurdles

800/1500 (middle distance)

High Jump, Long Jump, Shot Put, Turbo Jav

4x100(1 lap-each runner goes 100m)  and 4x400 relay (each runner goes 1 lap)

___________________________________________________________

The season starts the week after April break. Stay tuned for the practice/meet schedule. Season ends May 30 if one qualifies for the Vermont State Championship. 

Practice starts immediately after school. Parents/guardians must pickup at end of practice. Meets are also during the week. 1 meet will be at MMU. Athletes transported to the meets- parents must pick up.

Eligibility: Parents go to the   BRMS homepage/athletics. All athletes must be registered in RANKONE. First time athletes at BRMS need to make an account, fill out all required forms, attach a physical. Physicals must not expire before May 30. Returning athletes- go into your account and make sure your in good standing to start practice. Update physical if needed. Physicals are only good for 2 years from the date of your physical.

One must be cleared to begin practice -

Please take care of this well before the 1st day of practice.

____________________________________________________________

It is time to start conditioning- everyone (all events) should try to jog 3-4x a week - building up by adding a few minutes everyday. Be up to 4-5x week by the end of Spring Break. Those just starting- try to build to 15 minutes of not stopping by spring break. Experienced should try for 20/25 mins. especially if you are 800/1500. Always stretch large muscles before and after. Finish all runs with 6x100m strides. Strides are a nice jog at 60-70% effort concentrating on good knee lift, arm swing, upright position, head forward, shoulders relaxed.If you know drills- do them 3x week. A drill, high knees, butt kicks, lunges, single butt kicks.

PLEASE  keep safety in mind when jogging outside of school practice

Do NOT run on high traffic roads 

Softer surfaces are better than concrete to avoid shin splints.

When you run on any road- you run facing the traffic- so you can see the vehicle coming. No headphones/ear buds. 

Mills Riverside is a great choice. Griswold/Snowflake/Ross is a good choice. Jericho East.

Starbird Road is an 800m loop. Path around JES.  BRMS perimeter if it's dry. MMU track.

Do NOT run alone- have a friend/family member run/bike with you. 

PLEASE wear appropriate footwear- running shoes. This will help avoid injuries (shin splints/ankles). Look at the soles of your current sneakers- if worn down-please purchase a new pair.

VOLUNTEERS: are needed to make this program happen. No experience in the sport needed- we can teach you. Attend as many or as little as you can.  Please let Mr Lennon know your interest - he will forward your contact information to me. Matthew.lennon@mmuusd.org. 

Looking forward to a fun season.
