If you have not finished getting your clearance done, you can go to the gym on Thursday, August 3 from 10am to 2pm and get signed off by the athletic department! All the information is available on the Matador site. If you have have not completed your physical or scheduled your physical yet, the best option is to go with your parents to a walk-in medical clinic that can examine you right away. You may not join any MVHS team without a current physical signed by a medical doctor!
Practice
There will be practices every day next week! Whether you have been running diligently this summer or not, there is no better way to get started with practice than to dive in! Everyone who has completed their athletic clearance can come join practice. We will all train at our current levels, don’t worry, we are not sending the freshmen out on 12 mile runs their first day*!
All practices meet in the home grandstands at the track.
Come ready to run at..

Tuesday (August 8): 4pm
Wednesday (August 9): 7am (let’s beat the heat! And get our bodies back in the habit of waking up early)
Thursday (August 10): 7am
Friday (August 11): 7am
Saturday (August 12): 7am
*That would be the second day…hahahaha! Just kidding…
