Track Practice is cancelled for Tuesday March 4th due to weather.
It is against league rules to practice track if the weather is below 50 degrees.
As always when in doubt about a cancellation or change please check the infoline 901-313-8352.
We will pickup with our regularly scheduled practice on Thursday March 6th from 5:30-7:30pm

Why if track runners cant practice under 50 degrees,than why does sys let football players practice in the degree range of 25-30.The track runners can wear suits and long sleeves thats what the football players had to do?

Thanks

I honesty don't have an answer to that question, it is a league rule that has been around a long time.
I will ask the track commissioner tonight and let you know.

According to our Track Commissioner it is because in football the kids are generally running in short spurts but in track they run for long distances. He said the cold weather combined with prolonged running causes injuries.
