“First in Fitness” is a county wide event where our student athletes showcase their talents. This year's event will take place on March 14, 2019 at Southeast Raleigh High School. The inclement weather date is March 20, 2019.
The participants are selected for our First In Fitness Team based on their scores on the Physical Best Fitness Test, which includes pull-ups, shuttle run and the mile run. Additional testing includes speed rope jumping, 100-yard dash and standing broad jump. The boy or girl that scores the highest on each event per grade level is eligible to attend “First in Fitness.” In addition, a fifth grade boy and girl who scored the highest in pull-ups, shuttle run and the mile run is invited to participate in a triathlon event.
There will be 38 students on our 2019 team. Students are encouraged to practice for the above events. They will be tested in these areas during the first few weeks of school. The Pacer Test will be used to determine our mile runner.
