Congratulations to the Ebenezer Middle School 2025 Track and Field Teams!  Thank you to everyone who came and tried out this week.  If you did not make the cut, please do not get discouraged.  Go home, get faster, and come back to try out again next year. We are very proud of each and every one of you for the effort shown this week. 

If you are on the lists below, we will practice after school on MONDAY-February 3rd at EBENEZER MIDDLE SCHOOL.  There is a MANDATORY parent meeting at 6:00PM in the EMS school cafeteria after practice.  We look forward to a wonderful season!

2025 Track and Field

Tryouts for the 2025 Track Team:

• Girls will be held January 21-22 @ ECHS
• Boys will be held January 23-24 @ ECHS
• Practice will start on Monday- January 27 @ EMS

Athletes interested in trying out will stay after school these days and should arrange to be picked up at 5:45 at ECHS. (We are not used to traveling to another school for practices so we will be learning what works best for us.) Athletes must have appropriate sportswear to try out (running shoes, warm-ups or sweats, t-shirts, etc.). Bring your own water bottle. The team will be chosen and posted in the atrium as well as on the athletic website on the last day of tryouts. Depending on the number of participants, we may make cuts before the team is posted. 

We will have our first practice at EMS on 1/27, and there will be a mandatory parent meeting afterwards starting at 5:45.

It is important to note that athletes who are considered to participate in this year’s track season will be expected to attend all practices while maintaining grades and appropriate behaviors in the classroom. Failure to do so may lead to expulsion from the team. Rides to be picked up for practices and meets should be expected and arranged ahead of time. Athletes can anticipate that the team will practice 2-3 per week. Here is our projected practice schedule:

GIRLS- Monday @ ECHS

BOYS- Tuesday @ ECHS

GIRLS- Wednesday @ SEHS

BOYS- Thursday @ SEHS

Friday- By request only at EMS.  

In order to try out for track you must do two things:

1. Athletes must have a physical on file and fill out all paperwork in the Dragonfly app by Thursday- January 16th. 
2. Scan the QR code and fill out the Google Form to sign up for Tryouts by Thursday- January 16th.

This year’s track coaches are Hannah Darling and Donnie Jenkins. Please feel free to contact us by email if you have any further questions.

We are excited about a great new season!
