  2). FORMS –DUE BY FRIDAY, February 8th

All forms can be found at: www.chargercctrack.com (Spring Track Pre-Season Info).

3). SPIRIT PACK (Now being done online)-Students are responsible for purchasing their own uniforms.  It is the same uniform as used in winter track.  Each athlete is responsible for purchasing a singlet and shorts (boys)/briefs or boyshorts (girls).  In addition, we will be purchasing short sleeved team shirts, which will be worn to meets. Please note that these are the same uniforms as winter track, but the team shirt is different and must be purchased.

You need to purchase your jersey directly from Coach Gilchrist, by bringing in a check for $35, made out to CHS Track. Please put your name and size on the check. All other items are ordered on line, from Cassels Sports & Awards.

We will put in our order on Friday, February 28th.  If you have not made your order online before that, you may not be able to get your uniform. Your uniform is yours. If you choose to quit, your order is yours; we are not able to give refunds.  As such, please make sure that you are committed to this sport before making your purchases.

Please note that we offer a multitude of different sweatshirts, sweatpants and warmups.  Do not feel obligated to purchase everything, or a new set of sweats each season. They will be the same is indoors, if you ran in the winter. NOTE:  WE WILL ONLY ISSUE REFUNDS IF YOU TRYOUT AND DO NOT MAKE THE TEAM, NOT IF YOU CHOOSE TO QUIT. WE WILL GET YOU REFUNDS ON REQUIRED ITEMS. IF YOU ARE NOT CONFIDENT OF MAKING THE TEAM, PLEASE WAIT UNTIL TRYOUTS TO MAKE YOUR ORDER.

4). TRYOUTS: To qualify for participation, we have use a tryout system.  It is our thought that we wish to limit participation of the track team only to those people who have taken the care to condition themselves, and who are capable of meeting a performance standard.  It is important to us as coaches, and indeed, hopefully to you as athletes, that this team be acknowledged as a competitive group, and not simply as a running club that is open to anyone who feels like doing a sport, but not willing to prepare. 

The tryouts will be held over a four day period, Monday-Thursday, February 24^th -27^th  .  You must tryout in three “consecutive” events from:
100m dash, 200m dash, 400m dash, 800m run &1600m Run.The minimum standards are:

You will run one event, for time, on Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday. For those who do not meet a performance standard on either of the first three days, they will get a last chance in any event on Thursday. You must meet a standard in at least TWO of the events, and will be placed in your group, depending upon which event you qualify in (100m, 200m, 400m= sprinters), (200, 400, 800 = mid distance) & (400, 800m, 1600m= distance runners). Freshman must meet at least ONE of the standards to qualify.

For those athletes who are planning on being shot-putters, you will be required to meet the following standards:
