Parent Meeting Info and Next Steps

 Thank you to all the parents who attended our parent meeting last night. You are our athletes' greatest fans and supporters, and we appreciate you! Here's a short list of what's coming up and a longer message from your boosters.


Next Steps:

  • Download the TeamSnap app. If you have not received an invite, contact Coach Alex Kane. We use Team Snap to communicate entries for meets each week as well as real time schedule changes, cancellations, etc. This is also a great way to coordinate rides and other activities with other team parents. You and your athlete need to be on TeamSnap!
  • Order your athlete's required team hoodie and any other fan gear you want (the fleece blankets are a long-time favorite)
  • Complete this parent form for our boosters to coordinate carpools for meets, order optional customized backpacks, and see how you can help our team this season

Coming Next Week:

Booster Contact Information
We are happy to connect with you for any questions you have or if you need support. You can also connect with us through direct messaging in Team Snap

Team Dinners
Team Dinners are a long-standing tradition of HRHS Track and help sustain our team's positive culture. They're also a great chance for parents to get to know the kids and each other better. Thanks for helping us keep this great tradition strong by signing up to host or donate items for the meal. All team dinners begin at 5:15 pm.

Parent Form
We are asking all parents to complete THIS parent form so we can gather contact information for you and gauge your interest in supporting the various needs of our team. We sincerely appreciate any help you can provide and cannot do this without your help! Thanks, in advance, for helping make HRHS Track and Field a great experience for our athletes.


Swag and Bags
  • Team Store: Check out our Team Store where you will find the link to order the required hoodie for athletes, as well as other HRHS track swag. The team does not make a profit on these orders so we can keep the prices as low as possible for parents.
  • Embroidered Bags: We are offering an OPTIONAL bag this year. You will need to purchase your own backpack (black or dark gray) and we will have it embroidered with the HRHS Track Logo for an additional $15. HERE is the sample we shared at the parent meeting but you are welcome to find a backpack that works for your athlete. Please be sure the bag you order is a backpack with a face that will accommodate the logo (5in diameter) and that the logo spot is accessible (on a front pocket or where the machine can easily access it). If you are interested in having a bag embroidered, it is required that you complete the parent form and indicate that you want this option. We will contact you directly with the details (due date for bags, where we will be collecting them, payment for the embroidery, delivery of completed bags, etc.). If you have any questions, please contact Angie Austell.
