update on this season

Hello cows!!! This upcoming track season will be a lot like last semester. You are required a mask to practice just like last semester. You must reserve a spot on IMLeagues so make sure you set up you account on IMLeagues. This is not required for the first week or so as practice is unofficial until practices are up on IMLeagues.

It is important that at practice you maintain six feet of distance between you and and other club members. People will run in groups of four at practice and these pods will be sent out in staggered waves. If you test positive or have covid symptoms, make sure you report this to club leadership.

The link below will show you how to sign up on IMLeagues.

IMLeagues How To Guide

FOR THE FIRST WEEK OR SO, SIGN UP ON THE SPREADSHEET LINKED IN THE WTC INSTAGRAM BIO

what to expect for practice

SPRINTS: Sprinters will meet at the Shell. There will be two practices, one at 5pm and one at 6pm. They will meet at the Shell Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays.

DISTANCE: Distance will be meeting at Engineering Hall with practice times including 5:15pm and 5:30pm.

Monday and Wednesdays are workout days. 5:15 is faster practice and 5:30 is fast practice.

Tuesday and Thursdays will be coed so they are not divided by pacing. Practices will still be held at 5:15 and 5:30 but it is not determined by paces.

Fridays we do not meet.

Saturdays are the fast pace long runs and Sundays will be the faster pace long runs which meet at 9am at Engineering Hall.
