Welcome to the 2024 Track & Field season at Viking and River Trail Schools! Students in grades 6, 7, and 8 are eligible for the team. All students interested in track should REGISTER ONLINE with the help of a parent or guardian.
Tryouts will begin after Spring Break. They will take place in the Viking gym and outside, so dress accordingly. River Trail students should get on the shuttle bus to Viking after school. If you cannot attend one of the tryout days, please let your coach know ahead of time to ensure that we can give you enough attention on the day you are there. Please be picked up at the Viking gym entrance at 4:00 during tryouts. There will be no phones available in the gym to call for a ride. A complete calendar will be given to athletes who make the team. The final team rosters will be posted at several locations in Viking and River Trail, as well as the website listed above, as soon as possible after tryouts end.
There are four teams in track: 8th grade boys, 8th grade girls, 7th grade boys, and 7th grade girls. The 6th and 7th grade are combined and run as one team at the 7th grade level. All athletes MUST have a current physical on file with the school nurse in order to participate in tryouts. You are expected to attend both days of tryouts and if you make the team, you are expected to attend all scheduled practices and meets. Practices will go until 4:00 or 4:30 and meets can go until 7:00 on week nights through mid-May. There will also be up to 3 Saturday meets for those who qualify for postseason.
Below is the schedule for the first 2 weeks. Athletes who make the team will attend their 2 practice days during week 2.
