Due to the worldwide pandemic, Winter Track is one of the few lucky sports that are still being carried out. To keep this privilege, strict safety guidelines are being followed. Students are required to bring their own water bottles and additional attestation tickets to practice. They are also required to wear masks at all times; unless an adequate distance is maintained. Sadly, there are far fewer students participating in track this year than in previous years. Nevertheless, the decreased amount of athletes has made it easier to still train while being safe.

To avoid the crowding of too many people, distance runners and short-distance runners have been scheduled to train at different places on different days. The two separate groups train hard and easy on alternating days because the hard days are conducted on the track. This means that if the distance runners are being put through a hard workout on the oval track by Coach Adler, the sprinters are having a student-led easy day on the turf. The next day, the Coach supervises the sprinters on the track while the long-distance runners do easy laps around the perimeter of the school. This routine is carried out throughout the week. All the while, the throwers (people who do shot put and discus throw) are led through their workout in a different space by their new coach, Mr. Piccininni.

Furthermore, as of the time of writing this article, January 8th of 2021, there are additional guidelines to be followed on the days of events. 

Masks may only be pulled down by distance runners after they have finished at least 300m of their race because everyone starts on the same line.  By 300m, usually, there is enough separation between the runners. Sprinters may start and finish their race with their masks down as they start with some space between them. There will be no spectators at events due to COVID-19. There is talk of recording or live streaming the events for people to see online.

All meets will start at 11:00 a.m. Here is the schedule for the events:
