Sign Up Now for Pre-season Meets at HRHS


The CHSAA 2021 Track season officially starts in April, but HRHS Track and Field is excited to host four meets starting in February to help our high school athletes prepare for the season. We are hoping to give athletes a chance to get some good competition in, get some more times/marks for the help of recruiting purposes, and give them a chance to compete in some off-distance events as their training ramps up.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

1.  Distance runners should continue checking workouts in Google Classroom. Athletes in all other events should reach out to their event coaches for workouts. 

2.  We are providing HRHS Track athletes with the opportunity to sign up for meets early! Later this week, we will be sending meet information out to other area high schools. We want our athletes to sign up NOW so we can be sure you have a slot in your events. Entries are limited. So sign up today!
 

More Information on Meets:

All meets will be hosted at Highlands Ranch High School. Laned events will have four heats, distance events will have two heats. We will have a  maximum of 24 athletes per event, per gender. 

Registration will be on a first-come, first-serve basis. Preregistration is required (see sign up links below), and the registration cost is $10 per athlete, per event, payable at check-in. High school athletes only.

Athletes will need to arrive at the meet and check in but will not be let onto the track until their event is about to start. Warmups will need to take place outside of the track. Athletes may warm up at Cresthill, in the parking lot, or on the soccer fields (when available). Athletes will need to bring $10 per event cash or check (payable to HRHS Track) to the meet. We will do temperature checks and health screenings before checking them in.

Events will be hand-timed but will be uploaded to Milesplit. Below you will find the schedule and sign up for each meet.

A Message from HRHS Athletic Director, Darren Withey

We have received uniform and fundraising packet returns from about 2/3 of HRHS Track athletes. THANK YOU!

If you have not yet returned your items, please review this message regarding athletic returns from HRHS Athletic Director, Darren Withey.


Dear Athletes and Parents,

We know that you have received a much more detailed email from Dr. Page, but the Athletic Department and your coaches wanted to make sure uniforms and fundraising packets/collected funds are returned to HRHS along with your other materials.

FOR ALL ATHLETIC UNIFORMS AND FUNDRAISING MATERIALS:

All uniforms and fundraising materials will be collected by our athletic and administrative staff at the third set of designated tables at HRHS.

  • Please have all items in a sealed plastic bag.
  • Please make sure uniforms are washed and 100% dry before bagging to avoid mold.
  • Students must turn in their own uniforms and fundraising materials.
  • Please attach a piece of paper with the athlete's name, sport, and sizes of the uniform or equipment returned to the outside of the bag. 

Athletes' names will be checked off by staff, and bags will be placed in a box for each sport.

NOTE: This procedure is important to follow as we have a strict no-contact policy in place. If you have to write your name on the bag WHILE in line, it will interrupt the flow of the traffic that is set up. We will NOT have paper or pens to distribute during this process. 

As a reminder, please see the detailed schedule below:

Schedule of Collection/Drop-Off Process:
  • Seniors Wednesday, May 20th

Important Information from HRHS Track

We are saddened by the news that DCSD will continue with remote learning for the rest of the school year, ending our hopes for a Spring track season. Please read this message completely for some very important information for track and field athletes and their families.

ACTIVITY FEES

Refunds will be issued in full to those who paid. We wanted to make sure that you all didn't get charged for the season.

WORKOUTS AND REMOTE COACHING

Our coaches are updating online workouts through mid-May so that our athletes can continue to improve, even though doing so is more challenging with social distancing. Reminder to all athletes to work on soft surfaces (maintained fields or unpaved trails) as much as possible.

Lifting at Home

Falcons,

With gyms being closed we have written workouts that everyone can do at home.

Here are the at home workouts

Here are the running workouts - these will be updated soon as CHSAA has postponed the season again until April 18th. However, the coaches are still optimistic that we will have a season this year - although obviously shortened.

Finally, please fill out this form to input your results from the JV meet. This will ensure that we have the most up to date records possible.

We truly do miss you all and can't wait to see you once we are back at school/practice!
