To All Track Athletes;

I hope you are all looking forward to Spring and another exciting season of track and field. I along with my son Coach Mike am pleased to be taking over the program for Coach Lisa this year. We have a lot of new changes and things going on for the upcoming season that I wanted to make you and parents/caregivers aware of. First, we will be moving our day and location for practices to avoid conflicts and better allow athletes to compete in other spring sports. Our new location will be Westerville Central High School and we will be practicing on Wednesday evenings at the same times – 6:00 to 7:30. Directions and further details will be coming soon. Second, due to having to turn in times earlier this year for the Dennison meet we will be starting practices on March 17th. But fear not. We will not have to brave the weather for our first two practices (March 17th & March 24th) as we have been given the use of the Otterbein indoor track to start our season. Third and most exciting piece of news is that we will be hosting our first ever track meet here in Westerville. The event – The Westerville Warm-Up Invitational will be the weekend before the State Meet on June 19th. Worthington and Delaware will be participating with us in this 3 way meet. We will need lots of help from parents, family, friends and athletes to pull this off and make it a successful event. So stay tuned for more information on that as well.

Finally, for our first practice on March 17th at Otterbein, it will be required that a parent, guardian or caregiver be with their athlete for a brief 30 minute meeting at the start of practice. Event selection, rules & regulations and health forms will be discussed as well as covering the procedures for the season.

Please contact me with any questions you may have for your athlete or plans for the upcoming season. I look forward to seeing all of you on March 17th (St. Patty’s Day) at Otterbein!
