PHILOSOPHY
Our goal is to have fun learning about track and field while improving our fitness and skill levels in the areas of FLEXIBILITY, STRENGTH, AND EXPLOSION. Track and field is a sport in which personal achievement is just as important as team achievement, and by improving yourself, you improve the team.
PRACTICES
Attendance will be taken at practices, and you must attend practices to participate in meets.
Practices will be at Canton-Galva Junior/Senior High School. High school and junior high school practices will begin at 3:30. Junior high school will finish practice at 5:00 when a bus will be provided to transport Galva students back to the elementary school. High school will finish practice around 5:30.
What to Bring to Practices:
Running or cross training sneakers (not: basketball shoes, Converse, Keds, Sketchers, etc)
Sweatpants or track pants AND a sweatshirt, fleece, or warm windbreaker. Gloves and warm head gear are recommended.
Proper undergarments (undergarments should not be visible on boys or girls)
Water or sports drink in an individual bottle
MEETS
Use the JUNIOR HIGH and HIGH SCHOOL tabs at the top to find meet schedules and results for this season.
Uniforms
The school provides uniforms. Any garments worn underneath the uniform should be solid WHITE with no more than one small manufacturers' logo and no additional colors.
Shoes
Running or cross training shoes used for practice can also be used for competition. Athletes may buy spikes or throwing shoes, but these are not required.
Practice Makes Permanent!
High school and middle school athletes can be found on the Athletic.net website. Once you find the team page, the Season Records tab will show each athlete PRs in all events; the School Records tab will show where they rank against other CG athletes back to 2014 or 2015.
