Greetings Storm Parents,
The mock meet went well, I looked around and those kids were busy, busy, busy!!!
This was a very good exercise to see a track meet in progress, especially for those who are new to this sport. We too were able to see if we had everything ready for our season's meets. There are a few areas were we do not have enough volunteers.
1) Staging Crew
2) Relay escorts (walk athletes to their zones)
3) Announcer
If you believe you can help please let Liz know at the Tag Table.
Lap-a-thon
Please try to arrive at 5:30 PM the lap-a-thon starts promptly at 6:00 PM. Athletes will run for 1 hour. This is not a race; therefore dynamic warm up will be skipped.
Coaches Corner
Congratulations
on the practice meet, it was a lot of fun and the athletes did great. Thanks to
all the Parents that helped.
I am very excited about the field events starting. We are very fortunate to have some great returning, as well as new coaches.

Scholastic Award
In an effort to emphasize the importance of maintaining scholastic ability in conjunction with athletic ability, The Santa Clarita Track Club in cooperation with local school districts, awards a Scholastic Achievement plaque to all athletes that maintain a "B+" (3.5) grade point average or better during the season. The plaque is engraved with the students name, year and symbol of the sport in which he/she is participating. A special President's Award is presented to athletes that maintain straight "A's" (4.0) grade point average.
Click here to download the scholastic form for your child. Currently this program is only for athletes of local school districts.
Paperwork
If your child is missing registration paperwork please get it to Liz as soon as possible, please let her know if you are having a problem getting something, such as a birth certificate, a school registration record can be used to substitute for a birth certificate or a passport. If your child missed signing the player’s contract or the code of conduct please make sure they stop by the 'Tag Table' to sign the forms.
