This is a
very fun
event for

an important
fundraiser
for our
team. Money
from this
event keeps
our
registration
fee low and
helps us
provide
equipment
for our
training and
meets. This
is a
music-motivated
event;
singing
along,
running to
the tempo!
Oh WAIT!
YOU'RE NOT A
DISTANCE
RUNNER!? NOT
important!
This is a
fundraiser
not a race ~
run or
walk/dance,
create an
half
hour-long
relay team!
Challenge
yourself!
Just recruit
your
donations
accordingly!
The more per
athlete
sponsors you
get the more
donations!
There are 2
ways for
sponsors to
support our
athletes,
one is a per
lap donation
such as
$5.00 per
lap for you
distance
runners; the
other is
simply a
flat
donation of
any amount,
for example
$20.00.
Our team
will
acknowledge
those who
raises the
most funds
and all
participants
in this
event. A
Grand Prize
will be
awarded to
the top
athlete who
raise the
most funds
for the
club.
If for some
reason you
are unable
to
participate
the night of
the event,
families are
encouraged
to OPT OUT
by giving a
tax-deductible
donation of
$40.00
payable to
the SCTC.
This is our
major team
fundraiser
and requires
everybody's
support.
The due
date to
turn in
the
funds is
April
10,
2014.
Flat
donations
can be
turned
in
immediately.
Prizes
will be
awarded
based on
the most
funds
raised
and
turned
in by
April
10,
2014.
Funds
will
still be
accepted
after
that
date but
won't
count
towards
the
grand
prizes,
but will
go
towards
the
Storm
Lap-a-thon
Mister
Bottle.
If you
have any
questions
about
this
fund
raiser

Mark or
Elaine.

Mock Meet
Saturday we will
have a mock meet at
Valencia High school
starting at 8:00 am.
We ask that athletes
only enter events
they plan to run in
the first meet. We
will not be timing
the 3000 meter
event. We will need
help setting up
hurdles and moving
hurdles we call this
crew hurdle crew, it
is a very easy job,
and is mainly
putting the hurdles
on the correct marks
for the athletes and
then taking them off
the track when the
event is done, we
can use about 15 to
20 people just to
help with this
event. We will need
5-6 people working
in each of the Long
Jump, Shot Put
and High jump pits.
We will need 8 tag
pullers, a couple of
people to work the
finish line chute,
about 5 people to
work the staging, 4
or 5 ushers to
escort kids from the
staging area to
the start lines.
In total we will
need about 50
parents to help us
work the mock meet
in order to get it
done. That's not
counting the 50
coaches who will be
doing their coaching
duties.
Jenifer Ventress
will be
co-originating
our needs for the
meet. Please look
for her at
practices.
