[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here--track in HS.  HS offers only 3 practices/week and a meet.  Most practices run less than 40 minutes.  Is that typical for FCPS or does our school just have a weaker program?  [/quote]

We are in Arlington County and compete against FCPS schools. Most of them have really good programs. We have practice 4-5 days a week and they expect the kids to run on the weekend as well. The only exception is if you run in a meet, you don’t run the day after so there could be weeks where you only have three or four practices Depending on how many meets you run. There is an A meet and a B meet and an optional weekend meet.[/quote]

We are at one of the FCPS schools that competes against Arlington (Liberty District). 
Practices at our HS are broken into specialties - sprinter, long distance, hurdles, throwers, jumpers, etc. Our head coach is also the sprinting coach. 
District meets are on Wednesday nights, so practices normally M and Th with additional ones sometimes on Tuesdays/Fridays. Practices are at least 90 min, and some also add weight room times. 
And there are lots of invitational meets on the weekends, where the Varsity-level athletes compete. [/quote]
