Students interested in participating in Track & Field at South High must tryout. Tryouts for the Spring 2025 season start in early December and will be announced in the student bulletin and “The Loop”. Students participating in a winter sport can tryout when their season ends, usually early February.

Tryouts are typically 4 consecutive practices after school that are 60-90 minutes in duration and tests a students speed, strength, athletic ability, work ethic, and overall attitude.

Students that would like to tryout are encouraged to start getting athletically fit by implementing a regular exercise routing that includes jogging (20-30 mins), sprinting (4-6 x 100m) , and basic core exercises (push-ups, sit-ups, pull-ups) several times a week.

Here is a video of Basic Running Drills by Noah Lyles that you can also learn and implement weekly – https://youtu.be/xiYTMBLqp8c?si=TJJw6Q02O0ciooHO
