This is the final Track Season newsletter.

This past weekend concluded the State Finals Track meet. The CMS/PK team had athletes in 3 relays teams medal at the state meet, along with 7 individual event medalists. These state athletes set 10 new school records in a single weekend! A full list of these achievements is attached at the bottom of this email.

But if you would prefer to relive the moments as they happened, take a look through some of the photos captured during the action. (Along with pictures from all the meets this season!)

Some reminders,

Please ensure all uniforms are turned into the rooms below by the end of the day Wednesday. Please put your uniform this week (washed and cleaned) in a bag that is labeled with your name.

To all families and students congrats on a great season! We couldn't be happier with the growth we saw in our students this season. As this season wraps up, our eyes turn toward the next. We encourage your students to consider signing up for the cross country / track camps this summer. These camps are ran by the High Schools coaches and are always a great way for students to get connected with the teams, learn more about the sport and enjoy a week of summer outside with others doing the same!

Also make sure to mark your calendar, the first day of Cross Country practice next season will be August 13th. Registration for CMS and PK is now open. We hope you all have a wonderful remainder of the school year and a safe and fun summertime ahead.

All the Best,

The Track Coaches

Important Updates

Tentative 2026 Track Season Schedule:

Note: Attendance forms are below.

PK/CMS Track Schedule 2026

Middle School Event Order

Girls compete in running events first while boys are in field events. Within each gender, 7th grade runs before 8th grade. Once girls’ running events are complete, the meet “flip-flops”—boys move to running events and girls to field events.

Note: Hurdles and the new Medley may not follow this pattern, and event order can vary slightly depending on the host school.

Hurdles (Both Genders)

Medley Relay (Both Genders)

--------------------------------------------------------

100m Dash (Start Girls Only)

Mile Run

4x2 Relay

4x1 Relay

400m Dash

200m Dash

800m Run

4x4 Relay

*All boys field events will begin at the same time as the girls running events. Once the girls running events are done, the boys will start their running events, and the girls will start their field events.

*NOTE for Hurdlers - Even though all girls running events happen first, typically the boys hurdles happen right after the girls hurdles. This is done so that we can get all hurdle events completed, and then get the hurdles off the track and be done with them. Therefore, boy hurdlers should expect to run right after the girls, and may have to leave their field event for a little bit to do so.

Note for Athletes in Multiple Field Events: When reporting to your field events, check in with the event clerk for every event you are entered in at the beginning of your field event time. Let the clerk know you are competing in multiple events and will be rotating between them. Ask the event clerks to help guide you on which event to prioritize.
