Hydration/Body Fat, Lunch and Fundraiser

This Saturday at 10:00am we will be meeting at Westlake High School to complete our Hydration/Body Fat Testing. It is required if you want to compete at any wrestling events. We will be bused to Pleasant Grove and should be returning to Westlake around 1:00pm. Shortly thereafter, we will be having a lunch and then going out fundraising. Below are some important tips about Hydration.

Remember:
1. They MUST have picture ID- no ID no test (coaches may want to bring school yearbooks as a back up)
2. They MUST be in a legal singlet and preferably slip-on shoes
3. They MUST have a legible card filled out on WHITE card stock

Here is a list of recommendations to prepare them for the hydration test:
1. No vigorous activity on the evening before and the day of the test.
2. Avoid any caffeinated beverages on the day before or the day of the test.
3. On the day of the test, drink an additional 17 oz. of fluid (sports drink recommended)
4. Avoid any vitamin or mineral supplements 2 days before and the day of the test.
5. Be awake 3 hours prior to testing.
6. Do not eat 2 hours prior to testing.

If a wrestler fails hydration on this first test he/she will be given an appointment time and card to return for a re-test. They will need to schedule an appointment with the proctor and will need their own transportation there and back.  There will also be a small fee.
