Summer
Track is Back!
The Mt. Mansfield Summer Track Program returns for our 32nd year. We are a program open to all athletes from beginners to those looking to specialize in certain events. Athletes will practice and compete based on age groups from 5-6 years old up to the 13-15 age group.
It is a great way for younger kids to learn a new sport and helps the middle school athletes prepare for high school. Practices are Monday and Wednesday from 5:30-6:30 at the MMU track.
The program starts on Wednesday, June 17th and wraps up on Wednesday, July 15. We have 2-3 meets with other teams from Chittenden County and there is the option of competing at the Vermont Recreation and Parks state meet at the end of the season.
Registration is $40 for the first child in a family, $30 for the second, and $20 for each additional child and includes a team t-shirt. The program is run by Mt. Mansfield Track Coach Bill Eschholz and members of the 2025 MMU Track Team. For additional information or to request a registration form please email Bill Eschholz at MMSTXC@gmail.com.
New Work Requirements Put 3SquaresVT Benefits at Risk: What to Know
New Work Requirements Put 3SquaresVT Benefits at Risk: What to Know
Report work or exemption to keep 3SquaresVT +
Report work or exemption to keep 3SquaresVT +
Starting March 1st, 3,000 people could lose 3SquaresVT unless they report information to Economic Services about work, volunteer hours, or share info that excuses them from reporting work.
This is because there is a work reporting requirement for people who are 18-64 and are not disabled, pregnant,or caring for kids under 14. To get more than 3 months of benefits, you may have to report work, volunteer activity, or be excused from the work rule by meeting an exemption.
There are many ways to be exempt, including facing personal barriers to work, like experiencing homelessness, struggling with transportation for work, grieving a loss, and many other reasons.
For most people, simply providing info to Economic Services will prevent this loss of benefits. To learn more about how to report work or get an exemption:
