Track Season Suspended -- Workouts

Good morning Falcons,

CHSAA has suspended the track season until April 6th. What this means is that there will be no practices or meets until that point. However,  you are allowed to continue working out, just with no coaches. In order for us not to fall behind and to keep up our fitness, below are workouts and a lifting schedule. If you are able to, please do these workouts. Students are also talking about working out together, which is allowed.

Workouts

This is tough, but everyone is in the same boat as us. We just have to stay positive. The season is by no means over.

Please reach out to your coaches if you have any questions. You may personally contact Coach Douglass if needed - DDouglass@dcskd12.org, 303-956-3321 (please text and include your name if you're reaching out over phone).

If anyone has any financial troubles because of the closing of businesses or lack of free/reduced lunches please reach out to Coach Douglass directly.

JV Meet Yesterday-
Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone for being so flexible and helpful! We were able to not only compete in the meet but host three other schools with help from the athletes.

Please fill out this form with your name and times from yesterday so we can fully update our records.

Spring Break Schedule Changes


Today we learned that DCSD is canceling all out of state student activities, including our planned Spring Break Arizona trip. If you have questions about the cancellation please contact Coach Douglass.

Please note these changes for March 16-21:


  • PRACTICE -- Monday - Friday (March 16-20) @ 9-11 am for both JV and Varsity
  • ADDITIONAL VARSITY MEET -- Saturday March 21 @ Echo Park
We know many student athletes and their families have travel plans for Spring Break. Here's what you can expect:
  • Athletes who are in town are expected to be at practice. 
  • We will provide workouts to do independently to those athletes who are out of town.
  • We will communicate with athletes at practice to understand who is in town and available for relays and other events for the March 21 meet. Parents, please make sure your student athletes know your family's Spring Break plans so they can communicate accurately with coaches.

Week 1: JV @ HRHS, Varsity @ League Relays (Echo Park)

Thank you to all the parents that attended the pre-season parent meeting! As of right now we have close to 100 kids signed up for track. Make sure that everyone knows it is not too late to sign up.

The week ahead
  • Tuesday- quick meeting after practice for those going to Arizona. This meeting we will decide who is running what, who is rooming with who and go over basic rules.
  • Thursday- JV Meet @ HRHS. Since this is our first meet of the year, a lot of athletes will be competing here since it is the first meet of the year. EVERYONE is expected to stay the whole time. Varsity runners will help run the meet and JV runners need to stay until the end of the meet as well and help after they're done running.
  • Saturday- Varsity relays at Echo Park Stadium. We will know later this week who is running what events. Here is a schedule of events.
Further Ahead
We need a lot of volunteers in the coming weeks. Between team dinners and our meet, we NEED YOUR HELP. Please follow this link to sign up 

Spring Break- We will have practice Monday-Wednesday from 9-11.  Those in town are expected to come, those that aren't will receive workouts and need to follow it.
