150 PRs from this
past weekends meet
and athletes
qualified in 86
events so far. Below
I have information
about what
qualifying means,
and the finals which
are coming up in 3
weeks.
We will be
collecting donations
for the coaches
thank you dinner we
ask that donations
to the coaches
dinner fund be done
in lieu of giving
gifts directly to
the coaches.
Make up pictures
will be on
Wednesday,
Practices will be
held this week on
Monday, Wednesday,
and Thursdays.
Our next meet is a
home meet. Which
reminds me, I've
setup volunteering
sign up lists for
the rest of the
meets, if you were
to scroll down the
page past the
results you'll see
the volunteer sign
ups link next to the
remaining meets. We
really need you to
take the time and
fill out how you can
help us host these
meets, As you know
by now, it takes a
lot or man power to
host a track meet
and the final 2
meets are at home,
with us hosting. so
please do take the
time now and visit
the website and
please fill in how
you can help.
Also I've taken the
time to update the
stats on the Track
Pages, you can now
see top times, all
times, event break
downs, qualifying
athletes, top
relays, and top 20
league finalists and
top 50 conference
athletes. All of
those reports are
access via the Track
Pages of our
website.
Remember that
practice is still
important to attend,
as we get to the
final part of our
season.

This Weeks Track &
Field Practice
This week our
practices will be held
on Monday, Wednesday &
Thursday 6:00 - 7:45pm.
All Athletes will need
to bring with them a
bottle of water with
their name on it. A
light jacket with their
name clearly marked
inside next to the
collar label. and a good
pair of running shoes.
We ask
that athletes attend at
least 2 practices per week.
RAIN POLICY
If
it's raining practice is
canceled. However we will
practice in a light
sprinkle. This makes it
tricky, many times it is not
raining at the Track when
it's raining at home. Do not
drop your athlete off if
there is a chance of a
canceled practice, please
stick around.
I am unable to take your
calls on Monday April 12th,
you'll have to make your
best judgment if we'll be
having practice, Best advice
I can give you is, "if your
wipers are on, Practice is
canceled". if they are not
on, then park the car and
walk up to the track and
please do stick around, it
can end up being canceled
before 7:45.
