Any athlete planning to participate on the Girls Spring Track and Field Team is asked to attend the Preseason Meeting on Thursday, February 21 at 2:30 pm in the LGI. If you are unable to attend the meeting, please stop by the Athletic Office to sign up and pick up the necessary information. The first day of practice is Monday, March 4.

The entire coaching staff would like to thank the record number of athletes that tried out for this years Methacton Girls Track and Field team. Due to limitations in the number of athletes permitted to participate in PAC 10 Meets and Friday/Saturday Invitationals, we had to limit our team size to 65 athletes and 2 team managers. We were very impressed with the effort and dedication all of the athletes exhibited over the try-out period, which made the decision of which athletes to select extremely difficult. To the underclassman that did not make the squad, we hope that you continue to develop your skills and are eager to try out again next year. To the seniors, we thank you for all of your efforts and wish you the best in all of your future endeavors.
