Attire

    You will need to have running shoes.  Spikes or running flats would help you to improve.  It is usually cold at the beginning of the season, so you should dress appropriately.  Meet uniforms will be issued.  You are responsible for taking care of assigned uniforms.  Issued warm-ups are not to be worn at school unless it is the day of a meet.  At the beginning of the season, athletes will be able to purchase a practice sweat top and bottom.  The spring weather is very unpredictable and dressing appropriately is very important.  Dressing in layers is recommended.
