2012 Season Notes
1. All meets are required.
2. All practices are required, including Saturdays (August & September).
3. You must have a completed physical and insurance to practice during the season. Do not wait to get your physical done.
4. You must have a proper pair of running shoes throughout the season.
5. You must have warm-up pants.
6. Schedule tests (SAT & ACT) around the meets.  The PSAT will be problematic.
7. Tryouts begin August 10th and end August 24th.  August 13th begins double days for 5 days: 8AM and 6PM. Anyone who wants to tryout
  after that period or misses the majority of tryouts will have to run two time trials.  The standard will be boys: 1 mile <6:00 and 2 miles <13:00,
  girls 1 mile <7:00 and 2 miles <15:00.
