First, I’d like to take a moment to Welcome you all to the Reservoir Track & Field Team. Track & Field is an excellent sport and I believe we teach so much more than running, jumping and throwing! But we do make everyone a little better at running, jumping and throwing!
My name is Coach Phil Rogers. I have been the program director for Cross Country and Track & Field for the last 18 years. If you have any questions, please be sure to direct them to me!
Coach Bobby Gessler, Coach Rhys Ziemer, Coach Eric and Coach Laura will be working with the Mid-Distance and Distance Runners.
Coach Tyrone Hickson will be working with the Throwers.
Coach Tyrell Taitt and Coach Phil Rogers will be working with the sprinters, jumpers and hurdlers.
If you are interested in Pole Vault, we have a County Coach, Mark Swaiger, who will handle the training for those athletes.
We have a number major topics that we want to make sure you are aware of. Please read this email and make sure you are aware of all things going on.
If you have not already, please join the Remind Text Message Group and make sure you fill out the Info forms on the team website.
- Please join our remind so you don’t miss out on any of the major announcements, etc.

Schedule: Here is the final draft of our team schedule. Our Spring Schedule for 2022
Basic Team Requirements
Practice – Athletes must attend practice on a regular basis. Any practices missed, a Coach must be notified in writing.
Meets – On the schedule I have noted that some meets are designated for different groups. If you can not attend a meet, you must notify a coach ASAP but no later than 72 hours prior to the meet. A meet schedule, packing list, time schedules, addresses and an athlete list will be published to the team 48 hours prior to the meet.
Covid Updates
As you all know, masks are optional per HCPSS Policy.
If you are signed up to get weekly testing, you must do this every week. Failure to do so could result in removal from team events, practice and/or meets.
If you would prefer not to ride the bus, you can self-transport, but you must NOTIFY Coach Rogers. This if your option, but notifying Coach Rogers is not an option, this is required.
BUS
We will have the bus for all of our events. Again, if you chose to self-transport, you can. You simply must notify Coach Rogers
Donations: Please consider making a donation to the Track & Field Program. Every dollar donated goes right back to the student athletes. You can access the online donation section by clicking here
Spirit Wear, Uniform Shorts and Warm-Ups:
We will have a spirit wear site up on Monday. I’ll send that out as soon as I can.
Yes, we had issues with Spirit Wear this past Indoor Season, but I have been told things are getting better and the turn around time is getting shorter.
Team Shorts: All new athletes need purchase uniform shorts. They do cost $25 but the athletes do get to keep the shorts. CLICK HERE
Paperwork:
All athletes need to be sure to submit all paperwork via the HCPSS CONNECT portal. If more than one parent/guardian have an HCPSS Connect account, only one of the parent/guardians (the primary) will have the athletics tab. You will need to Select Outdoor Track & Field and the Spring Sports, you will need to acknowledge all of the online forms as well as the student. You will need to upload a copy of a physical, utility bill and possibly a copy of birth certificate (new athletes). If you need help and/or support with the paperwork, there is a help doc on the PreSeason Handout. CLICK HERE
