We need both student-athletes and student-partners for Unified Track. Relays are separated by gender so there is a need for both male and female athletes and partners as well. If you cannot make it to the meeting, please see Coach Cheyenne Wilson at school to get the information or email her at clwilson@warrick.k12.in.us WHAT IS UNIFIED TRACK?

Special Olympics Indiana and the IHSAA are partnering for the eleventh year to sponsor Unified track and field competitions statewide and an IHSAA State Championship.

Teams are co-ed and the competition is co-ed. Requirements for Unified Track and Field are the same as any other sport: - an approved physical must be on file (in Final Forms) prior to any participation - students must be enrolled in and passing at least 5 classes - a minimum of 8 practices are required prior to participating in any meets - students must participate in at least 75% of the scheduled meets to be eligible for the Sectional
