Texas Distance Festival/Arcadia Invitational
For those of you interested in travel meets this spring. We will be offering TDF and Arcadia as out-of-state trips. Per CHSAA rules we cannot attend any out-of-state track meets during the CHSAA season without a coach present, so here are options for the 2026 season. Indoor/Outdoor meets outside of the CHSAA season are at your discretion.

All travel logistics (flights, hotel, transportation) will be need to be planned by athletes/families.

Iron/Ferritin Check-up
If you haven't checked iron levels in six months, it is strongly encouraged to do so before track season officially begins. Low ferritin can derail a track season, so it's worth taking the time to get it checked over the next month.

The first couple weeks back can be adjustment, but if it's the end of January and you still aren't feeling like your normal self it's worth taking a look at.

You can consult with your physician first or order directly from a lab. Info on ordering direct

Below is information about the importance of iron/ferritin for distance runners.

A ferritin level of 30 is the minimum number acceptable for adequate performance as a distance runner. Please come talk to the coaches if you have questions.
