It is mandatory for all XC / Track Blk. 6 athletes to do summer camp, and both XC and Track during the school year. They must also participate as a distance runner during track season. Otherwise you will be removed from the class after the 1st Semester.
Season Attendance Policy. ATHLETES ARE ALLOWED 5 ABSENCES TOTAL REGARDLESS OF THE REASON OR EXCUSE FOR MISSING PRACTICE. THIS IS A “NO QUESTIONS ASKED” POLICY. WE WILL NOT DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN AN EXCUSED OR UNEXCUSED ABSENCE, OR AN ACCEPTABLE OR UNACCEPTABLE ABSENCE. Athlete may be held out of meets if they miss any type of training. Athlete may be held out of meets if they miss Mondays, Tuesday, or Wednesdays.
Athlete may be dismissed from the team if absent more than the days indicated above. Illnesses and injuries will be considered but only if an athlete has a doctor's note indicating restrictions. Vacations, and/or family occasions will count against the athlete if practice is missed.
XC / Track Block Athletic Class Enrollment. The block athletic class is for CIF, varsity, and potential varsity Track athletes and XC runners/Track Distance runner. Placement requires Coach Martinez’s approval. Athletes can still be on the Cross Country and Track teams and not be enrolled in this class. Cross Country runners are required to do Spring Track as a distance runner in order to be considered for this class, and to remain in the class. All runners and athletes must commit to competing at League Preview, Prelims and Finals for both for Cross Country and Track.
Next year (2024-2025) enrollment will require registration and participation in XC summer camp, as well as 75% attendance in the summer camp. Athletes that are enrolled in 2023-2024 classes are not guaranteed enrollment for 2024-2025.
