2 Mile Tryout Goal Times:
Freshman/Sophomore Boys: 14:30
Freshman/Sophomore Girls:  17:30
Junior/Senior Boys: 13:00
Junior/Senior Girls:  16:00
 
Eligible athletes who meet these times will earn a spot on the team. Not meeting the goal time is not a guaranteed cut, however. After tryouts, Coaches will extend additional invitations to athletes who don't meet these times until the team roster cap is reached. All team members will be considered for a spot on the "Travel Team" roster, which will earn an athlete a seat on the team bus for all meets and opportunity to compete at overnight or out of state meets. The Travel Team roster will be announced in August at the conclusion of summer conditioning.
 
All athletes must have a current physical and be up to date in Final Forms to participate. Out of all of the forms, prioritize the Medial Eligibility Form, as it is required for participation in any RCS Athletics.
 
Athletes will be allowed to use last year's physical (dated April 15, 2025 -April 14, 2026) to participate at tryouts/June practices, but must have a physical dated April 15, 2026 or later to participate after July 1, 2026.
