The Blue/White Tryout Meet is Mandatory (Unless you are currently in season for another Rancho Bernardo Winter Sport)

Athletes who are not cleared on home campus will not be allowed to practice or compete.

For more information on athletic clearance, visit the RBHS Athletics Page

If you are actively competing on a Rancho Bernardo winter sports team, come out once your season is over (this will not negatively effect your ability to be on our team). You can email Coach Mandell and returners also let your event coach know that you are intending to come out so they can plan accordingly!

Blue/White Athlete Entries as of Friday February 20th at 8pm

If you will be there Saturday to compete and do not see your name, make sure to let your coach know at practice BY THURSDAY 2/19 or email.

Field events (Long Jump) arrive at 8:00am Everyone else arrive at 9:00am to have ample time to check in and warm up ahead of your first event! Arrive in athletic shoes (spikes if you have them and are cleared by your coach), comfortable clothes for running (bonus if it’s RB Blue!) with a full water bottle and layers as the temperature can change quickly.

PLEASE DO NOT BUY SPIKES FOR BLUE/WHITE IF A COACH HAS NOT INSTRUCTED YOU TO DO SO. We don’t want athletes buying spikes for one event and then being placed in a new event for the season and needing another pair of spikes.

The first 2 weeks of practice athletes will have had the opportunity to try out and practice in various events to get the hang of learning them. The Blue/White Meet results will be a tool for our coaches to inform team roster decisions and find the events we feel you will be most successful and competitive in. This is in addition to us evaluating athletes in the first two weeks of practice!

*Tentative schedule* as follows: 

• 9:00 am

  • Long Jump

  • Pole Vault (the vault group will use the day as another practice 9am-12pm)

• 10:00 am - Rolling start

  • 1200 meters

  • 100 meters

  • Triple Jump 

  • 300 meters

  • 600 meters

*We will run the meet as quickly as possible while allowing athletes a reasonable amount of time between events*

Hurdles - Coach Mandell has evaluated most if not all athletes who have come out so far in the hurdles. The primary interest is speed, the technical hurdling will come from time with coach. All prospective hurdlers will compete in the 100 and 300 at Blue/White.

Throws/High Jump - we are exciting to bring on Coach Savannah (throws) and Coach Cole (high jump). They were hired just a couple of weeks ago, so they are in the process of getting their coaching clearance from the school district. Because of this, we won't be having throws high jump at Blue/White, instead Coaches Savannah and Cole will evaluate athletes the first week or two of the season. We are looking to grow both event groups! Athletes will have plenty of opportunities to try out both events.

We are excited for the season to begin!
