Dear Storm Family,
What a fantastic start
of the competition
season. Now that you
have seen how a track
meet runs, hopefully
this will help you gage
the time of your
athletes events. As you
can see the meet starts
at 8:30 but not all
athletes have to be
there, unless they are
going to run the 4x100
relay (400 meter relay)
All athletes must be
checked in at 9:00 if
they are doing a relay,
any late athletes may
not be assigned to a
relay team or on the
team best suited for
them. Athletes who are
going to compete in the
first events of the day
should arrive at 8:00
am, (Gremlin Long Jump,
Youth Shot Put, Bantam
High Jumpers, and all
3000 meter runners). All
other athletes are still
welcome to pick up tags
early. If an athlete
misses an event they
signed up for, they are
free to try another
event provided it hasn't
already completed and as
long as they don't over
event (meaning compete
in too many events for
their age group) Limits
explained later in news
letter.
We appreciate all the
volunteers this past
weekend, We had the most
Volunteers ever thanks
to Jennifer Ventress and
the Storm Families.
This Saturday our track
meet will be against the
3rd largest club in the
conference (STORM being
the largest). This meet
may run longer due to
the large amount of
athletes at the meet.
This will be our first
away meet and we still
have volunteer
obligations. This week
we will be working 1
long jump pit, and high
jump pit, and timing the
meet.
Please be sure to sign
up online in one of
these areas.

Relays
Many parents are
asking how relays
are determined, here
is a brief
description on how
this is done.
It is very important
to the team that if
your athlete signs
up for a relay that
they are at the meet
and checked in
before 9:00 am so
the coaches can
complete the teams.
If your child is
signed up for a
relay and does not
show up or is late,
it will effect every
other relay runner,
and disappoint those
who can not compete.
This is the only
event that we are
strict on signing up
for. Please don't
sign up for the
relay if your
athlete can not
compete in the
event.
Criteria for relay
team assignment.
1) time in the 100
meter race (at a
meet).
2) attending
practice
3) able to hand off
smoothly
4) coaches
discretion.
all of this is
considered with
coaches put together
their teams (A-Team,
B-Team, C-Team,
etc...).
if you have any
questions about this
please speak with
your age group coach
or Coach Elaine

Lost and Found
We have a huge
amount of lost and
found, we have no
place to store it.
We will no longer be
locking up in our
bins, but rather
simply stacking it
next to them under
the stands. Please
check Valencia high
school under the
bleachers next to
our bins. All items
will be donated to
Good Will at the end
of the week every
week.
