Welcome to the 2025 Track & Field Season!

Hello everyone and welcome to the 2025 Arcata High Track and Field season! We are looking forward to beginning practices. Our coaches this season are head coach James Washington and assistant coaches Davita McGoldrick, Owen Moore, Amy Collenberg, Jasen McGoldrick, Chuck Ehlers, Josh Durham and Rebecca Garwood. 

(Thank you to our volunteer coaches Owen, Amy, Jasen, Chuck, Josh and Rebecca for taking time out of your busy schedules to assist our team! We appreciate you all)

The official CIF start date is Monday, February 10th. 

It is essential that athletes start the season with a basic level of strength and conditioning. If you are not participating in a winter sport, we strongly recommend that you start conditioning for track during winter break or no later than January 1st. The first two weeks of practice, the coaches will be assessing the athletes. You should have the mindset that you are trying out for track and show up prepared on the first day of practice. 

We will be communicating via the private team only "newsfeed/messaging".  Please check it regularly for updates and schedule changes. You may also follow our instagram account (arcatahightrack_field) and email us at dmcgoldrick@nohum.k12.ca.us

In order to participate in track this season you will need to: 

1) e-mail dmcgoldrick@nohum.k12.ca.us to confirm your participation 

2) complete and return your Athletics Packet, including a Sports Physical (if you have played a sport this school year [Aug 2024 to present] you do not need to turn in additional paperwork) 

3) if you did not have a concussion test this school year you will need to have one before competing— Coach Davita will arrange once the season starts

2) set up an athlete account at AthleticAPP and connect with our team [parents may create their own account as well] contact Coach Davita for the team code
