Hi everyone,
Hope you all had a restful and enjoyable spring break!

We have a full week ahead. The Colony Meet this Friday, and for qualifying varsity athletes the Jesuit Sheaner Relays Friday–Saturday. I’ve attached both meet schedules for your reference. 

We will also be hosting a Junior High Meet this Wednesday starting at 4:00 PM. Some of our athletes will be helping volunteer at the meet, and we will go over expectations with them at practice.
​
Thanks so much, and we’re looking forward to a great week!

Happy Spring Break! I hope everyone has a chance to enjoy some time with family and get a little rest. This is a great point in our season for athletes to take a mid-season reset and focus on recovery. Staying lightly active, getting good sleep, and staying hydrated will help them come back next week feeling refreshed and ready for the final stretch of the season.

While there are no required practices during the break, we will have a couple of optional opportunities for athletes who would like to get some work in:

Optional Track Practices
Wednesday, March 18 – 9:00–10:15 AM
Friday, March 20 – 9:00–10:15 AM

Open Weight Room
Thursday, March 19 – 10:00 AM–12:00 PM
Friday, March 20 – 10:00 AM–12:00 PM

Looking ahead to the week after Spring Break, we will have two different meets depending on groups.

All Girls and JV Boys will compete on Friday at The Colony.
Varsity Boys and any additional qualifiers will compete at the Jesuit Sheaner Relays on
March 27 (3200m) and March 28. (Final Qualifier list will be released Monday, 3/23 at 5pm)
Meet schedules for both meets are linked below.

We are coming off a very competitive meet this past Friday in Lancaster. It was a huge meet with some of the best programs in the state, and I was really proud of how our athletes handled the long delays and stayed mentally and physically ready to compete. In a stacked field, it was great to see our athletes step up and compete hard.

Team point-earning performances included:
Ava Alexander – 4th Varsity High Jump
Ellie Von Goertz – 6th Varsity High Jump
Elle Hahn – 3rd Varsity Pole Vault
Ellie Von Goertz – 6th Varsity Pole Vault

Have a great Spring Break, and we look forward to seeing everyone back ready to go next week.

​Dear JJ Pearce Track & Field Families,

We have another exciting week ahead for Mustang Track & Field as we prepare for our next meet this Friday, March 13th at Beverly D. Humphrey Stadium.

   - Here is the link to the meet schedule for the day
   - Here is the link for online tickets (stadium enforces a clear bag policy.)
   - 1st Bus: Athletes will need to arrive at the MAC at 6:30 AM.
   - 2nd Bus: Athletes will be dismissed from 1st period at 10:15 AM and the bus will depart at 10:30 AM.
  - On the Varsity Girls side, this will be our last opportunity to hit qualifying marks for the Jesuit Sheaner Relays, so it is an important week for our athletes to stay focused and take care of their bodies. The biggest things they can do this week are hydrate consistently, eat well, get quality sleep, and prioritize recovery so they are ready to compete at their best on Friday.

Looking Ahead to Spring Break
With Spring Break just one week away, we will post workouts on Talking Points for athletes to follow while they are out of school. Staying active during the break will help them maintain the progress they have made so far this season.
We will also hold optional practices at the school at 9:00 AM on:
   - Wednesday, March 18th
   - Friday, March 20th
There will likely also be a few open weight room opportunities during the break. Once Coach Shields confirms those dates and times, we will share that information with everyone.

All City Meet Recap
We are incredibly proud of how our athletes competed at the All City Meet. We saw a huge number of PRs and major progress across the board, which is always exciting to see early in the season. As a program, JJ Pearce Track & Field scored more points than any other school at the meet! And both our JV Boys and JV Girls finished as Team Champions! That is a testament to the hard work these athletes are putting in every day at practice.

This week is a short prep week as we gear up for the All City Meet on Thursday. We are watching the weather closely and hoping we can get the meet in as scheduled. Field events begin at 4:20pm and running events start at 6:00pm. Field event athletes will be dismissed after 5th period at 2:45pm and we will depart at 3:00pm. Runners will report to the MAC after school, and the bus will depart at 4:45pm. Please make sure athletes are where they need to be on time and ready to compete. Here is a link to the All City Meet Schedule.

We are also hosting our Junior High Meet this Wednesday and would love for some of our high school athletes to volunteer to help with field events, starting blocks, and general meet logistics. It’s a great leadership opportunity and a chance to invest in the future of our program.

A reminder that our regular practice start time during the week is 7:00am. We need athletes arriving on time and ready to work so we can maximize our training and preparation. As we head into another competition week, please continue to emphasize hydration, balanced meals, and quality sleep. Those habits make a real difference in performance and recovery.

Thank you for your continued support of our athletes and our program. We’re excited for another opportunity to compete and represent JJ Pearce well this week.

​Hi Track Families,
We had another great week of practices — and we are especially thankful for the beautiful weather! I’m proud of our athletes for their willingness to try new events and step into spots where our program needs them. That kind of flexibility and team-first mindset is what will continue to strengthen our program.

A few quick reminders and updates:

No practice Monday- all coaches will be at different locations across the district for professional development.

Picture Proofs -Everyone should have received a link to your athlete’s picture proofs. If you did not receive one, please reach out and let us know.

Morning Practice Reminder -Practice begins at 7:00am sharp each morning. Please help your athlete plan accordingly so we can maximize our training time.

First Meet of the Season -We are excited for our first meet this week! This meet will be running events only, with additional relay opportunities — a great chance for us to see a large group of our athletes compete early in the season.

The final event list will be posted by Tuesday (subject to change based on practice attendance). Multisport athletes that are on 4x1 or 4x2 relay we need you need you at practice each morning to finalize handoffs.

Please remember that there are many moving pieces that go into deciding what each athlete runs each week. We will always make decisions that are best for both the individual athlete and the overall success of our team.

Meet Details
Location:
 Wilkerson-Sanders Memorial Stadium
