Getting Ready for the 2022 Season


I want to apologize in advance, as this post will be long, but it is full of important information we want to get out ASAP.

Winter Conditioning
We are in full swing right now in off-season training for both high schoolers and middle schoolers. If you are not involved in a winter sport, we would love to see you start to build for a great season during the off-season. We meet every school day at 3:05 in the HRHS commons and will work on all events.

Registration
Registration is already open! Athletes need to be registered, paid, and have their physical turned in before the start of the season in order to participate. Please do this sooner rather than later.
Meet Information and Important Dates
Our meet schedule is ready for the season! We have a great range of meets that are mostly close with the high-end competition. To find the full meet schedule click here or see our online calendar

After two years we are finally able to go on our Arizona Trip again! We are so excited to be back in Chandler competing in one of the biggest high school meets in the country. We will be traveling down to Arizona from March 24-27 (we do have to miss two days of school). The cost of the trip will be $660, this includes flight, hotel, meet entry, and food. As of right now, we have 15 tickets for the team. We can also add more to the flight but we didn't want to overbook.

Earlier Start Times for Liberty Bell


Liberty Bell will be our largest meet so far this season. Meet directors have allowed several additional teams to enter the meet this week. As a result, they have made start times earlier on both days.

If you are competing on either or both days this weekend, please see the entire revised schedule here.
  • On Friday, start times for both running and field events have been moved to 4:30 p.m.
  • On Saturday, field events start at 9 a.m. and running events start at 9:30 a.m.

Parking is always challenging at this meet, and that will be even more true this year with the increased number of teams. Please allow extra time to park and walk. Also be aware that there will be a gate fee for spectators.
