Track season has arrived! Boys and girls in grades 5-8 are eligible to participate. Joe Curia and Phil Ewerdt will be coaching the track team this year and they are looking for another parent to help with driving for practices.

Practice sessions will be on Tuesdays and Thursdays, beginning on Tuesday, April 4th. A schedule of times and locations (St John’s or LPS track) can be in the welcome/sign-up letter. Before we start practice, please encourage your children to begin running and exercising. A listing of indoor circuit training exercises are available here. 3-4 reps of each exercise 2-3 times a week would be very beneficial.

Our two meets will be held at LPS on May 6th and at Fort Atkinson High School on May 13th. A St. John’s uniform top will be provided for the meet. Each student athlete should be accompanied by a parent to each meet.

Everyone will be encouraged to try each of the events in the first practices. Participants may be in 1 and up to 4 events. Relays do NOT count as one of the events. The running events are 100 Meter, 200 Meter, 400 Meter, 800 Meter, 1600 Meter races. The field events are Long Jump, Discus Throw, and Shot Put.

Parents will be asked to provide emails and cell phone numbers in order to receive schedule updates as weather is a large factor in this outdoor sport.

If you have any questions, please reach out to our coaches.

In Christ,

Mr. Phil Ewerdt and Mr. Joe Curia
