Track and Field

2021 Tryout Information:

Tryouts for BMS Track & Field for 7th and 8th grades will be Monday, 1/25/2021 starting at 3:15 PM. Students need to be picked up by 4:30:00 PM. Tryouts will be held at the track at the ITD center on Pleasant St. Students that are trying out will stay after school and be taken by bus to the track from BMS. Equipment needed: Shoes and clothes for running, jumping & throwing. Students will be given 3 to 5 days of tryouts, based on weather. Everyone will have an opportunity to try different events in order to find their niche. Athletes will purchase their own shoes if they make the team. Warm Ups will be ordered at a later date if the student wants to purchase them, but it is not a necessary item. Students will be able to wear their own warm ups if they have them. Uniforms will be issued before contests. If you have any questions, please email Coach Jenkins at stanley.jenkins@rcsd.ms
