Uniforms and Equipment
  • All track uniforms must be purchased from Blythes Athletics (2810 N. Calumet Ave.) If you purchased a cross-country uniform in the fall, you may use this for track and do not need to purchase another. Uniforms may be used from 6th thru 8th grade, so buy looser if you are in a younger grade level.
  • Training Shoes: Whether you are a sprinter/distance-runner/jumper or thrower, you need the proper shoes to stay healthy. Please visit the Extra Mile Fitness Company @ https://www.exmico.com/ and have them consult you on proper footwear for your season.
  • Spikes: Track spikes are a great way to step up your running, especially if you are serious about pursuing track&field in high school. There are two different types of spikes that you can buy: sprinter spikes and distance spikes. Click here to learn about which pair is right for you! SPIKES SHOULD BE WORN FOR RACES ONLY. YOU MUST PURCHASE A PAIR OF TRAINING SHOES FOR PRACTICE AND WARMUPS.
