GIRLS Track and Field | Varsity

Welcome to Rkfd. Guilford Girls Track & Field Team Page.  

 Here you will find all of the important information about our winter workouts and our up coming spring season! Furthermore, Guilford Vikings athletics constantly strives to build our programs through "Excellence in Athletics." We look forward to an exciting, challenging season. To make a quality team a reality requires dedication, cooperation, and teamwork from all involved in the program: athletes, parents, and coaches.

General

• Maintain a positive attitude about yourself, your sport, your team, and your school. A positive attitude is the first building block to being successful at anything.

• Learn about your sport. There are many magazines, books, apps,  YouTube videos, and websites dedicated to track & field. The more knowledgeable you are about running the better runner you'll be.

• Track and field is a very physically demanding sport. Successful athletes eat properly, drink lots of water, and get plenty of rest. Periodically, during the season we will provide nutritional advice geared toward the competitive athlete. You should try your best to get 8 - 10 hours of sleep per night so that you are well-rested for school and for track.

• Although events are contested on an individual basis, the cumulative effort of all participants determines the outcome of a meet. To this end, competitors may be asked to compete in events not normally considered their "specialties." We ask that you always give 100 percent for yourself and for the team.

• Track involves running. All participants will be expected to run daily at practice. You will run farther than just your specific event in order to train properly. Do not assume that “sprinters” won’t run certain distances, or field event participants won’t have to run.
