2015 Spring Track Interest Meeting Agenda

Welcome to the 2015 season of Chantilly Charger Spring Track.  We are excited about this season.  That being said, we need to emphasize a few things on the administrative side that we require prior to practices getting started.

1) Coaching Staff:

• Dr. Gilchrist- Head Coach, Distance/Pole Vault
• Jason Franks- Head Coach- Sprints, Hurdles, Jumps
• Anver Ansari- Asst. Coach- Throws
• Jimmy Beyeah- Asst. Coach- Jumps
• Danielle Hicks- Asst. Coach- Sprints/Jumps
• Nicole Kazuba- Asst. Coach- Pole Vault

\

2). FORMS –DUE BY FRIDAY, February 6th

**- To be distributed/discussed & signed at the 2/12 meeting.

All forms can be found at: http://www.chargercctrack.com/SpringTrack/Info.html.

3). SPIRIT PACK (Now being done online)-Students are responsible for purchasing their own uniforms.  It is the same uniform as used in cross country/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 last year, and with the exception of the team shirt, the same as used for cross country, and winter track this year. If you are not getting anything, because you already have the items, PLEASE TURN IN THE FORM ANY WAYS, INDICATING THAT YOU DON’T NEED ANYTHING.

We will put in our first order on Thursday, February 26^th .  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.

4). TRYOUTS: As we have done in cross country and winter track, we will be employing  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 three day period, Monday-Wednesday, 2/23-25.  You must tryout in two “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 and on Tuesday. For those who do not meet a performance standard on either of the first two days, they will get a last chance in any event on Thursday.

You must meet a standard in at least one of the events, and will be placed in your group, depending upon which event you qualify in (100m, 200m, 400m= sprinters) & (800m, 1600m= distance runners). For those athletes who are planning on being shot-putters, you will be required to meet the following standards:

All forms can be found at: http://www.chargercctrack.com/SpringTrack/Info.html.

Please note that it is expected that you check your email daily, in case there are announcements that may be made.  It is also advised that you use the team website (not the school website) regularly, to stay abreast of all events, news and announcements.  This may include reminders of certain dates, lineups for meets, meet results, directions to meets or meet schedule.  It is fully expected that you use this reference…please check it prior to contacting the coach with such questions.

Also, we do maintain a Facebook page “Chantilly HS Cross Country/Track & Field”.  We invite athletes & parents to join.  We use this to share announcements and other pertinent information, as well as photos.  Coaches Gilchrist & Franks serve as administrators, in order to keep it safe and appropriate.

Attention all athletes interested in trying out for Spring Track & Field.  There will be a brief, but important, interest meeting on Tuesday, January 20th, at 2:30 pm in the CHS Cafeteria.  We will talk about paperwork, schedules, tryout information and spirit packs.

If you have any questions, or cannot make it, please see Dr. Gilchrist in Rm 217, or refer to our pre-season information page at: http://www.chargercctrack.com/SpringTrack/Info.html.
