The Titan Decathlon was inspired by the President's Challenge.  The SAES Titan Decathlon is our effort to promote and encourage fitness, while incorporating friendly competition.

1. The top ten boys and top ten girls from each grade level, as determined from their individual event results conducted within their Physical Education classes, will be eligible to compete in the Titan Decathlon Championship (TDC).
2. Students competing in the TDC will be excused from classes for the entire school day. It will be up to the individual student athlete who is competing in the TDC to obtain and complete any missed school work from that day of classes.
3. The equipment that will be provided by the Physical Education Department will be; tape measures, softballs, rake, shot puts (6lbs/3.3lbs), and shuttle run dumbells.  The individual instructors, who will be working the TDC, will supply their own stopwatches, pencils/pens and clipboards.
4. A scorer’s table will be set up by the white shed near the track displaying the trophies, medals and scoring charts. In addition, a Physical Education instructor/s will help guide the TDC.
5. The order of events and daily schedule will be different based on student gender and grade. An example is below.  All of the events were selected so all health and skill related fitness components would be implemented.

14. All of the core classes, administration, other Physical Education classes, and/or parents of the participating athletes are invited to view the TDC, however anyone who does not work with the SAES district must first report to the main office to obtain a sticker name tag (must be visible at all times on school premise).
15. Any Physical Education instructor and/or administrator at SAES has the authority to remove a Titan Decathlon athlete from the championship due to inappropriate behavior and/or unacceptable grades at anytime throughout the current academic school year (detentions/suspensions/failing grades/etc.).

17. To ensure a fair and consistent environment, any student that experiences a prolonged injury and is unable to complete the classroom driven Titan Decathlon in the months of September and October will be permitted to, if desired, complete the 10 events. This will create a solution for all SAES students to have an equal opportunity to compete. The deadline for all Titan Decathlon submissions will be on the first school day in May.
