BOYS TENNIS

Tryouts for JV and varsity tennis teams are from February 6 through 9, starting at 3:15pm and continuing until it gets dark.

“We have a great team, it’s a great group of guys, we have a lot of fun together. The practices are really enjoyable, and we should be good this year for the first time in a while, so if there are any good players they should come and join the team,” varsity senior Jake Oxendine said.

TRACK & FIELD

A non-cut sport, Track & Field’s first practice session is on February 6, beginning at 3:20pm. Track & field events include hurdles, long jump and triple jump, high jump, pole vault, shot put, discus, sprints, relays and distance.

“The track and field program offers athletes a great opportunity to work on the fundamentals of speed, strength, agility, and endurance, which translates into better performance in any sport,” said coach Chuck Woolridge. “There’s usually something that is appealing for everyone, and something in which each individual can find success.”
