Curious about Track Team? Here are some things about our 2022 Season for reference...
1) We began the season last year on February 14 with our first practice at Colonial Heights Middle School.
2) We generally practiced at Colonial Heights Middle School, which Sullivan County gave permission for KACHEA to use. At times we held a practice at the DB track or at Sullivan Heights (old Sullivan South) when available to us.
3) Our practices generally started at 4pm and lasted until 5:30 or 6pm.
4) Our KACHEA team generally had two scheduled practices per week. There were times when we adjusted things a bit, but we usually practiced on Mondays and Thursdays.
5) The KACHEA team consisted of middle school track only in 2022. We did not have a high school team last year.
6) Our team participated in four official middle school track meets last year. Three were at the new Sullivan East Middle school track, and one was at Grandview Middle in Limestone.
7) We had 7 girls and 3 boys last year on our team.
