									| Greetings, 
 
 
										We had a great mock meet on Saturday and 
										was able to get the kids times for their 
										seed placement for next weeks Meet. We 
										was able to learn a lot doing the mock 
										meet, it gave the kids an idea of what a 
										Track meet looks like, it gave our new 
										parents an idea of what to expect, we 
										were able to find problems that needed a 
										little more attention, and it allowed us 
										to get the kids seed time. all in all it 
										was fun and useful at the same time! 
										Thank you for your help, we could not 
										have done it without you!  
										  
										After the meet I met with conference 
										officials and certified our roster so we 
										are set to go!  
										  
										Please check the notes below for more 
										specific information on very important 
										events coming up in the near future.

										Track Usage 
										  
										Remember that the track is off limits to 
										non-athletes during practice.  All lanes 
										of the track are being used for our 
										athletes.  If parents would like to 
										walk, please use the walkway on the 
										outside of the short fence around the 
										track.  It is also a good workout to 
										walk the side walk around the entire 
										block, which is out Smyth to Copper 
										hill, to Decora to Dickason and back to 
										Smyth. Also if they would like to go for 
										a longer run, you are more than welcome 
										to join the distance group out on their 
										runs.  
										We need escorts of all ablilties to 
										assist.
