2005-2006 Season

        Tates Creek would like you to continue your track and field participation as a student athlete at Tates Creek High School .  The track and field program at TCHS is one of the best in the state with over ten top five rankings in the state.  We recognize that YOU are the future of our team.  Without you, our team cannot be its best. 

We are a strong family of athletes.  Friendships developed with team members and coaches will last a life time.  By joining our family of athletes, you will automatically be a part of something great at TCHS.  Upper classmen will mentor and help you during your first year at Tates Creek.  Being a part of our team will help insure a great transition to high school.

The 2005-2006 track and field season begins on Monday, December 5.  We have a complete indoor track and field team and will participate in at least 4 indoor meets.  After the indoor season, we will end the year with the outdoor season.  If you participate in a winter sport, you can still join the team for the outdoor season after your sport has ended.  We do not have try-outs.  Everyone is accepted as long as you have a completed sports physical.  Unlike most sports at the high school level, we do not have a “team fee.”  The only money that is needed to join is for board of education required athletic insurance and SBDM required drug testing. 

If you play soccer, you can still join the track team.  There are many current TCHS varsity soccer players on the team (Kari Theobald, Brooke Coplon, Kevin Webster . . . ).  We permit those who are on select teams to participate on the track team.  We have very flexible scheduling.  The skills developed on the track team will pay great dividends on the soccer field.                 

In addition to participating on the track and field team, we would also like most runners to join our Cross County team.  Coach Michael Feeback coaches an outstanding group of distance runners.  The best distance runners participate in both Cross Country and Track.  Current 6^th and 7^th graders can be on the TCHS Cross Country team.  There are middle school races at every meet we travel to.  Please contact Coach Feeback (mfeeback@fayette.k12.ky.us)  if you are interested in running Cross Country.  Practice will begin July 15^th. 

if you have any questions regarding track and field (or anything) at TCHS, please contact Coach Crosby at 859-893-3169 (cell number) or kcrosby@fayette.k12.ky.us .
