Notes:
1. All practice and meets (unless otherwise specified) will be at Timpanogos High School Track (1450 N. 200 E., Orem). Please drop off and pick your child up ON TIME. When track practice ends, the coaches will be leaving so there will be nobody there with your child.
2. Volunteers are needed for the track meets (especially the meet on May 23 in Heber). Please let one of the coaches know if you can help out at any of those meets.
3. Please make sure that your child is prepared for the weather. Track practices and meets are held in all kinds of weather. Please send jackets, warm clothes, sun block, etc.
4. Make sure that your child has plenty of water at track meets and a full water bottle at every practice (as there is not a water faucet close by the track).
5. Transportation is NOT provided. Each participant is responsible to get to meets and practices on their own.
