Whitmore Lake Middle School Track and Field

2020

Starts Monday, April 6th

 

Parent Meeting in HS Media Center is temporarily on hold!

 

The Trojan Mission:  We want you to become the best athlete you can be. We want you to get stronger, faster, and become mentally and physically tough. We want you to be the BEST version of YOU. We want you to understand the importance of COMMITMENT, working HARD to achieve your goals and the SUCCESS that comes from reaching goals.

 

Coaching Staff:

  • Coach Betz 

Carrie.Betz@wlps.net

Room A201

Phone 734-449-4461 ex. 3343

REMIND101 (@k4de7f)

  • Coach Livingston (Varsity Track and Field)

  • Mr. McCormack, Athletic Director

 

All athletes need to have a physical on file in the Main Office and pay $75 to play.

 

Practices:  Monday through Friday from 3 to 4:30  pm

  • Be dressed and ready and meet in the locker room hallway by 3:00.

  • Practice will end in this hallway, so your rides can pick you up at the pool doors at 4:30.

  • On instruction days, athletes will be divided into smaller groups (Sprinters, Distance, Field).

  • You will be working out with different groups each day.

  • Athletes will be participating in Volt Athletics for ultimate conditioning.

  • Athletes should ALWAYS be prepared with the following:

    • 2 sets of clothing and shoes (inside clothes and outside clothes)

    • Water 

    • Sunscreen

    • Comfortable, supportive running shoes

    • Warm hats and gloves (because we will go outside most days)

  • All athletes are expected to attend and work hard at every practice.

  • Valid excuses for missing practice are doctors’ appointments or school functions, etc., but these MUST be communicated to me.

  • Communication is the key! As your coach, I am responsible for you, so I need to know where you are at all times during practices and meets.

  • Use REMIND101 to contact me.

  • Two unexcused absences will result in a meeting with the coaching staff and your parents to look at your status with the team. If you don’t want to put in the effort and hard work for our team, this might not be the sport for you.

  • The coaching staff has the final say in all decisions pertaining to the team.

  • Refusing to compete or missing an event will result in you not competing in the next meet. 

 

Volunteers Needed:

  • We will need some parent volunteers to help with meets. If you can help, please contact me at Carrie.Betz@wlps.net .

  • We also want to organize some healthy snacks for meets (especially Saturdays), so we will be sending out a Group Sign Up email if parents are willing to contribute.

  • Although uniforms are provided by the school, if you are interested in purchasing a team t-shirt or hoodie through our school store, look for notification of this soon.

  • Parents and grandparents can also purchase spirit wear.

 

Meet Procedures:

  • There are a limited number of entries for each event, and there is a strict limit to how many events one athlete can participate in during a single meet.

  • This guarantees everyone will run at least once.

  • The athletes that I have chosen to run in each event are not necessarily the three best runners, but they are chosen strategically for our team.

  • Scoring:

    • 1st place in an individual event = 5 points

    • 2nd place in an individual event = 3 points

    • 3rd place in an individual event = 1 point

    • 1st place in a relay = 5 points

    • 2nd and 3rd place in relay = 0 points 

  • Every athlete needs to be ready to run at any given moment. Listen and be ready for your event on time.

  • Every athlete needs to help set up and take down events.
