Support our fellow Solons by coming out to watch our athletes. If you are interested
in participating in any sport, you must have had a physical, which would last through
all of middle school. You must also have the forms signed for the specific sport you
would like to participate in. If you're not the best at something, but enjoy being a help, you
can be a manager for sports. To be able to participate or manage a sport, your grades have to be
passing or above.

    sport for those runners who like to run on trails
    and enjoy the outdoors. Cross country can help
    build your endurance, stamina, and speed. This sport
    is coached by Coaches Schuette, Hebert, and Clark.

If you are not a fast runner, it's okay because there are other events
such as: discus, shot put, long jump,or high jump. Students from all grades can
participate in this sport. This sport lasts for about 2 weeks in which the
