To participate in the Duluth East Track & Field Team you need to complete some items listed below. If you were previously in a sport for the current school year, then you have filled out most of these forms already.

You will be expected to follow the Minnesota State High School League Eligibility Rules. In addition to the rules that govern alcohol and tobacco, you have to be academically eligible. You are in school first and foremost to learn. Track comes second to your education. Preserve your eligibility by good attendance, and getting your homework in on time.
