Wildcats Indoor Track
Winter Training Gear
Proper gear for both indoor and outdoor I-track workouts is extremely important. You may not know whether you are practicing indoors or out until you are notified at school by Coach Vermeulen or Coach Delsole. Do not assume you will be indoors because of bad weather. You must pack and bring suitable gear for either option.
Proper gear for outdoor training safeguards the athlete against injury and illness as well as maximizing the athlete’s training.
Athletes practicing outdoors who do not have proper gear may be sent home and not receive credit for the day’s practice. This rule is for the safety of the athlete, especially middle distance runners on road runs.
