Finals week: Everyone has a different schedule and requirement during finals week…so please discuss with your coach whether there will be a practice during finals week, or even if you want a practice during this week. Personally, I always liked a little bit of exercise to clear my head before or after an exam or big study session, not a formal practice but a shake out run or a quick set of intervals or whatever. But, but…I had plenty of classmates who just went to their desk and embraced the grind. You be you! do what makes you feel the most confident before your exams!–your coaches want you to be successful. Coach Samantha will not be holding practices during finals week. For other coaches, please check with them yourselves…and also let them know if you do or don’t want to have a practice, so they are not standing around wondering if you are going to show or not. Communicate!
In any case…good luck with your exams!
High school track and field seasons go by quickly! From the first MVTF practice to our first competition is less than a month, and there is a break week in there too. Athletes that want to do well, and avoid injuries, will arrive at the first day of practice in reasonable fitness. Fortunately for you…your coaches are prepared to help you with your winter training!
Here are group workouts that are scheduled. All these workouts are optional, but we hope you take advantage of these opportunities to help you prepare for a fun and successful 2022 track season! Don’t hesitate to reach out to any of the coaches for more information.
Remember to complete all the athletic clearance procedures before you join practice.
