DENTON - The Mean Green track and field team will be holding open team tryouts on Thursday, September 1 at 3:30 p.m. at Fouts Field outdoor track stadium. All students that are interested in participating in the tryout session need to read the following information and complete the accompanying paperwork.
Tryout Eligibility is determined by the following general requirements, and must be completed no later than, Wednesday, August 31th. In order to speed up the process bring all necessary paperwork with you at the time you pick up your Green Tryout Tracer Form.
General Requirements
• Pick up Green Tryout Tracer Form prior to tryout from the track coaches offices located at Fouts Field gate 10, 704 North Texas Blvd. Denton, TX, 76201.
Transfer Students
• Four-year college transfers, per NCAA rules, we are not allowed to have any kind of extended communication with potential transfers until we receive a "permission to speak" letter or a "release" from your current school's athletic department. Have that document emailed to our compliance director: scott.hobbs@unt.edu When this document has been received we can begin normal communication.
• Transfer students must provide their final transcripts from their previous institution(s).
Potential student-athletes are asked to be warmed up and ready to go by no later than 3:30 p.m. on Sept. 1. It is suggested that students arrive 30-45 minutes prior, to allow enough time to properly warm up for the session. We also ask that you are prepared with appropriate attire and water.
At the tryout, the coaching staff will conduct sprint time trials and event-specific observation.
Those who make the cut will have their transcripts reviewed to meet team polices, and be invited to the all-team meeting. For more information, contact Coach Derek Mackel at Derek.Mackel@UNT.edu.
