    Students must try out for the Track team if they wish to participate.  The tryouts are a 2 step process.

    Step 1:  During the 1st quarter, students can try out in the P.E. specials in the following events: 100m, 200m, 400m, and softball throw.  If they win in their class, they will move on to the second phase of tryouts.

    Step 2:  The Hunter Olympics. In late October/ early November, each grade level has their Hunter Olympics where their class competes against the other classes in their grade.  During this competition, the winners of each class in the 100m, 200, 400m, and Softball Throw will compete against each other to find out who is the best in the grade.  The winners from each event will make the track team.  In addition, the Coaches will select 2 "Coach's Picks" from those who did not win but perform very well at the Olympics.  Selections are made by December 15th.
