Equipment needed for Track and Field

Attn:  All Boys must have a pair of well fitting plain black shorts.  Not too baggy and no stripes or designs.  An understated trademark is ok.

Distance Runners 800 - 3200 need:

• A quality pair of well fitting training shoes. Distance spikes are also nice for racing, but not necessary.  A good pair of distance spikes should last about 4 seasons.

NOTE:Most track spikes come with a spike wrench and 1/4 in spikes.  1/4 are the standard spike size for the Central Lakes Conference so you do not have to buy spikes separately.

• Clothes for running outside.  We will run outside even when it is cool. *A stocking cap, *light weight gloves or mittens, * running tights, *lightweight running top to wick away moisture. 
• High quality socks,  with cool max or neoprene to prevent blisters.
• A wrist watch with a digital timer.  Does not need to be fancy. Just something to keep track of minutes and seconds

Sprinters: This includes jumpers and hurdlers

• A quality pair of well fitting training shoes. 
• Racing spikes 100-400 meter sprinters spikes, very light weight almost no cushioning in the heel. 
• Durable recognizable water bottle track workouts, marked with name  
• Small light weight duffel for spikes and miscellaneous items, marked with name
• A skull cap is not necessary but nice on cool days. 
• A pair of tights is not required but nice as well. 
• Several pairs of socks to prevent  blisters.
