be turned in, but if you
haven't yet turned them
in, please get them to
Tom as soon as possible.
The big thing this week
is the Scholastic award
form, Please turn them
in by Thursday.
Our SOAR athletes will
be working our
concession stand this
weekend. They will be
doing that to raise
funds for the 2014-15
SOAR team. Please be
sure to ask them about
the program.
Volunteers, We need
everyone to pitch in and
help in order to host
our meets, we have the
big things covered, but
there are still lots of
jobs in running the
meet. Most of these jobs
allow you to get right
up and be a part of your
athletes event. Field
events need to be
covered as well. We've
schedule the jobs into 2
hour 15 minute slots,
There is no limit on the
amount of slots you can

This Weeks Track
Meet
To Volunteer for
this weeks track
meet
please click here.
Please be sure
to use this sign up
list, it helps us to
know we have the
events covered.
We really need
someone to work as
an announcer, this
is a very fun job,
you get to be on the
field, and we will
teach you everything
you need to know.
A really big thing
we need for every
meet is the ability
to move all our
equipment from the
storage unit across
the street to the
track, so we need
people with Pick up
trucks, SUVs, or
Vans. We meet at
6:30 am to load. Our
storage unit is in
Valencia Storage
(not Valencia
Storage II), its
right next door to
the Ice skating
rink.
Most Field events
are finished some
time around 2:00 pm,
if we could get some
people with trucks,
SUVs and Vans to
load up the
equipment used for
the field events,
that stuff can be
brought back to the
storage unit, while
the final events are
being ran.

Students SOAR to
New Heights
at LA Marathon XXIX
Nineteen Hart School
District students
successfully
completed the 29th
running of the Los
Angeles Marathon
amidst an
international field
of more than 25,000
participants.
Sponsored by
Students Off And
Running (SOAR), a
division of the
Santa Clarita Track
Club, this program
dedicates itself to
offering SCV youth
the opportunity to
participate in a
fully supported,
24-week, 380 mile
marathon training
program while
challenging
themselves to
accomplish something
truly extraordinary
in a non-competitive
arena. Head coach
and program director
Kevin Sarkissian
shared his thoughts
just after safely
bringing in his last
student runner
Sunday, "We couldn't
be more proud of the
level of
determination our
students showed
today," Sarkissian
said. "Just
committing to the
SOAR program is
tough enough
considering all
these kids have
going on at home and
in school. Couple
that with a long,
tough training
season, and you
really get an
understanding why
today gives
collective testament
to their inner
strength. It's not
often that you see
the average teenager
getting out of bed
at 2 am to run 26.2
miles, it just
doesn't happen."
Less than 1% of
Americans ever
complete a full
marathon. SOAR is
not about recruiting
seasoned high school
athletes; the
program looks for
any youth with
heart, who are
willing to commit to
a truly life
changing experience.
Now celebrating its
seventh year of
success, the results
continue to impress
with the program
reporting an
astounding 100%
marathon completion
rate for all SOAR
participants since
the program began in
2007. In addition,
parents, teachers,
and students report
better focus in
school, increased
positive social
interaction, and
dramatic improvement
in overall physical
health. For more
information on
supporting or
participating in the
program visit
www.soar-sc.org or

Sarkissian at
661-877-7024 for
more information.
