Practices are ordinarily held on Thursdays from 3:00-4:00 pm, starting date to be announced.  In the event of a conflict with MLHS teams, practice will be canceled.  Please call the Track recording (973-334-3183, ext. 7).

The team meets at the track bleachers closest to Wildwood parking lot; parents are asked to pick their children up there promptly after practice.  Please send your children to school in running shoes and proper clothes.  Please be sure they have a water bottle and a sweatshirt.  For safety reasons, all kindergartners must have a responsible adult in attendance during practice.

Volunteers

Parents will be asked to assist with timing and record-keeping at meets and are encouraged to attend all practices and meets..

Meets

Team members should arrive at all meets 30 minutes early,  The normal order of events is (1) 800 meter run; (2) 50 yard dash; (3) 4x100 meter baton relay; (4) 200 meter sprint, and (5) 8X50 meter shuttle relay (time allowing), with the boys running first,  Clinic meets may also include the long jump,  Meets will end by dark, usually between 7:30-8:00 p.m,  The League does not keep score or individual times; however, we keep track of runners' times so that they may see their progress through the season.

Please note that on many occasions , we will modify the running order to accommodate daylight conditions and to complete the K group events first.
