• There will be an opportunity for every academically eligible athlete on the team (No failing grades) to compete this week.

V. State 5A Rankings
In-order to qualify for state, athletes/relays must be in the top 18 in their event by the end of the regular season (May 13th). Here are the current 5A Rankings for 2023.

• Boys 5A Rankings: 2023
• Girls 5A Rankings: 2023
• Rankings can also be found on Colorado Milesplit. However, these rankings are not official. 

VI. Program Fee/Fundraising

• Payment Link: https://vistagoldeneagles.sportngin.com/register/form/187327841
• Why: There are currently 150 athletes out for track and field this spring. As a result, we have hired 8 coaches. DCSD provides six coaching stipends for the spring track & field season. This is two fewer stipends than we currently have. To ensure all of our athletes have proper coaching we are asking every family on the team to make a small donation to the Track & Field Booster Club.
• Program Fee Recommendations:
  • $50 recommended donation to help compensate our assistant coaches for the 2023 spring season. 
  • $150 recommended for athletes that are consistently seeing Coach Boele for massage therapy on Tuesdays.
  • Other Amount: Any amount to help support the program is greatly appreciated if you are unable to afford the recommended donation amounts. Likewise, if you would like to donate more your support is always valued. 
• Fundraising Goal for 2023: $7000 will cover the cost of the two assistant coaching stipends that DCSD does not cover for the track and field program this season.
