St. George's School | Track & Field

The 2020 Track & Field season is upon us and school practices will begin on Tuesday, March 10^th. Please see the table below for details about practices for each event. If you would like to compete in more than one event, speak to the coaches of those events to decide which practices you will be attending. Ideally, you will attend at least one practice per week of each of the events you would like to compete in.
