Athens Area High School issued the following announcement on April 8
Good morning, We hope everyone is staying safe and healthy and taking all the necessary precautions we are asked to take. Please practice social distancing, wash your hands, and only leave your home for essential needs. Our track is open for walking, running, and jogging. We know that in the unprecedented and stressful time we are currently living in being able to have access to physical activity and exercise is extremely important. We would like to be able to keep the track open for use. NO ONE should be using the turf. As we move forward we are continually seeing groups of people on the turf, playing pickup soccer and football games. Our local agencies have notified us, almost daily, of this occurring. This just cannot happen and we apologize for that but it is extremely important we follow the guidelines set forth for us. Please use the TRACK ONLY for running, jogging, and walking and please use social distancing when doing so. If we continue to see improper use of the facility we will unfortunately have to completely close it and we sincerely hope it does not have to come to that. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding. Have a great day!
