                               2013 Season Notes
1. All meets are required, except Mt SAC.
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 16th and end August 23rd.  School begins on August 19th, so no double days. 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.
