Can I still come out if I missed tryouts? Please read

That depends. We are under a time schedule. The regular season ends in the middle of October. If you missed summer training that puts you at a big disadvantage. You have already missed over two months of workouts and we only have a little over 2 months left. 

Your Aktivate account needs to be 100% cleared by the athletic office. The coaching staff doesn't clear kids. Clearing athletes takes time and we don't have much to spare at this point. Have you communicated your intentions with the coaching staff? 

Your paperwork must be 100% cleared by Tuesday August 11th. After that date we must finalize our roster with our athletic office and the NIAA. 

Athletes that start the first day of school will not be competing at the August 22nd and September 18th meets as we have not had enough time to work with you and prepare you for these large invitationals. 

Athletes that join late will still need to do a time trial mile. Just like everyone else they will need to run the appropriate time to make the team.  

Team Fee 2026: Due August 21st

The team fee for 2026 will be $275. This will cover the cost of local invitationals, timing for our home meet, equipment, and the spirit pack. The spirit pack will include sweats and a t shirt.

The team fee will not cover the cost of out of state travel since not all athletes will be going to these meets.

The team fee will not cover the cost of your uniform. You may use your uniform from previous years if you already have one.

tryouts: Saturday August 1st @ 6:00 AM

You must be completely cleared in RMA/Aktivate inorder to tryout. If you have any portions that are not green check marked you will be sent home. Please get your RMA/Aktivate completed. This is your responsibility. If you have questions please ask Ms. P for help before tryouts take place. Asking the Friday night before tryouts is also not a good idea. 

Tryouts will consist of a timed run so we can see your ability level and curent level of fitness. Please get yourself ready before this date as cuts may happen depending on how many athletes tryout. 

Day of Tryouts:

Athletes day of tryouts instructions:

Step 1: Check in with Ms. P in portable 23. She will check the status of your RMA account. If it is not complete you will be sent home. If it is complete, she will give you a bib number and send you out to the track.

Step 2: Pin that bib number to the front of your shirt. We will warm up as a team.

Step 3: Run your time trial. We will collect times and post them on our website. 

Step 4: Talk to Coach Thrasher about your results. Go home! 

Parents day of tryouts instructions:

Step 1: Your athletes RMA/aktivate account must be completed. All portions. We will send them home if any part of it is not completed. Please do your part in getting this done. Reach out to Ms. P asap with questions. She can help you. Paperwork takes time to clear. So please don't wait until the week of tryouts to get this done. 

Step 2: You will need to wait in the parking lot during try outs. Unfortunately practices/workouts are closed. We know you are awesome but we can't have people around children that are not cleared by CCSD. It's a safety precaution to keep everyone safe. 

Step 3: After tryouts have been completed we will have a parent meeting in Coach Thrasher's classroom (portable 12). Hopefully this happens around 7:30 am. We will offer two parent meetings before the season starts. If you can't make it to this one, there will be a second one offered at a date TBA. It is mandatory that you come to one of them. We are working with your child and we want to make sure you can get all your questions answered about the upcoming season.
