Hydration Test Scheduled

Hydration test scheduled for our team will be Nov. 12 at 11:30 am.  We will watch film that morning and we're working on a bus for our team for that morning.  We will need to be drinking a TON of water before the test!

This testing fee comes out of your participation fees for the initial test ($5.00).  If you fail the hydration test or are not present at the time of testing, you will be required to pay the re-test fee and/or initial fee ($5.00) AND the late fee ($15.00) at the time of testing.

Wrestlers' requirements:
1. Wrestlers will be required to present a picture I.D. (driver license, school activity card, state ID card, etc.) Wrestlers without proper identification will NOT be tested.
2. Wrestlers will present a completed BIA test card (provided by coaches) at the test site.
3. Wrestlers will be required to give a urine sample. The sample is to be offered at the test-site.
4. For the body fat test and weigh-in, wrestlers are to wear a high school competition legal, as defined in rule 4-1, singlet only.
5. In order to avoid late fees and individual appointment fees all wrestlers who could possibly wrestle during the year ought to test at the school’s initial test appointment.

Additional information regarding the testing is available on the Wrestling page of the UHSAA web site www.uhsaa.org.

Physicals

The high school is doing physicals for winter and even spring sports on Friday October 28.  The time is TBA, but they are shooting for around 4pm at the U of U Clinic in Daybreak.  We will let you know as soon as it's nailed down.  We need to get this done.  Athletes need a physical every year to participate in sports.  We are charging $20 for the physical.  Most of this money goes to supply our trainer with supplies to take care of our team.


Also, Dr Wade Thompson at Herriman Family chiropractic would be glad to do the wrestlers health exams for a reduced fee. He could do them for $20.00 on an appointment basis.  Contact him at his practice or Coach DuPaix for more information.
