Meet Sign-ups:
Athletes MUST sign up EACH WEEK for the events they want to compete in at the track meet. If an athlete does not sign up at practice, or contact Mr. Berg prior to each week’s deadline, the athlete will not be able to compete in the meet.
4x100 and 4x400 Relay Teams: Athletes who are interested in participating on a relay team must establish a personal best time in a meet* and must attend the set weekly relay practice session. The top 8 times will make up our A and B relay teams each week.
*Teams for the first meet will be determined by a run off. After the first meet the teams will be determined by 100m and 400m meet times.
High Jump Sign-Ups:
Only three athletes per gender and grade can jump at a meet. Athletes must be approved to jump in a meet by Coach Walsh. Interested jumpers must inform Coach Walsh at least 2 days prior to the meet and show in a practice prior to the meet the ability to safely attempt a jump.
Forms:
Each member of the track team needs to turn in to the office a physical completed by a doctor, an emergency contact form, and the $75 activity fee. The activity fee is collected once per school year and is good for Cross Country, Track, and Jazz Band. Forms must be turned in to compete in the first meet.
Uniform:
Order your Athey Creek Athletics jersey from Hometown Sports in West Linn. Any appropriate black athletic bottoms can be worn with the jersey to complete the uniform.

Volunteers Needed for Home Meets:
Our school will host two home track meets this year. Each meet will have over 400 competitors and the only way it will work is with your help. The hope is that at least one parent will be there to support and volunteer. This will ensure that our home track meets run safely, efficiently, and effectively for all students.
Volunteer Sign-Up: The links is for both home meets and is posted on the ACMS home page.
