														I want to thank you for 
														helping with the meet, 
														it was a great success 
														and everything went 
														perfect! The day 
														couldn't have been 
														better, well the wind 
														could have been a little 
														less and it could have 
														been a bit warmer, but 
														when I arrived at the 
														track, there was a lot 
														of help setting up the 
														meet, and when the meet 
														was over there was a lot 
														of help to get 
														everything packed up and 
														taken back to the 
														storage shed. It takes a 
														lot of man power to host 
														a meet and everybody did 
														a great job!  
														  
														Thanks |

														Track Meet 
														This week's Track meet 
														will be at Royal High 
														School in Simi Valley, 
														that is a change from 
														what we originally were 
														scheduled.  
														  
														We will need your help, 
														I've setup a sign-up 
														sheet on the website on 
														the left hand side bar 
														on the main page. I've 
														switched the sign ups 
														from hours to age group 
														events, I figured you 
														might want to work the 
														event while your child 
														is there, so we'll have 
														the shifts come and go 
														as the kids come and go. 
														I am going to try and 
														schedule them for the 
														rest of the season, but 
														for now only thei first 
														one is active.  
														  
														Directions are on our 
														website on the Track 
														Page. |  |

														Lost & Found 
														
															
																There have been 
																a lot of items 
																left at the 
																track, we try to 
																pick them up and 
																place them on 
																the fence for 
																pick up each 
																night. Please 
																take a look and 
																see if any of 
																the items on the 
																fence belong to 
																your children. 
																At the end of 
																next week 
																all items will 
																be donated.   |

														If your child is signed 
														up for a relay it is 
														very important they 
														arrive at the beginning 
														of the day.  
														  
														Many parents have asked 
														how the relays are 
														comprised. Here are the 
														coaches guidelines: 
														  
														100 meter or 400 
														meter times 
														Must be Present for 
														relay practice 
														Ability to make a 
														good exchange with the 
														baton 
														Coachablity Age Group Coaches have 
													the final say of who will be 
													on each relay team.  Some 
													times there is not enough 
													athletes to form a relay 
													team for all athletes, 
													coaches will do their best 
													to alternate athletes in 
													this case.  
														The 4x400 is a great 
														alternative if there is 
														not enough for all to do 
														the 4x100. |  
												
													| 
														
														Personal Record 
														Ribbons 
														One of the ways we 
														reward out athletes is 
														to track their 
														performance on how well 
														they did against 
														themselves, if they have 
														a better performance 
														than before we give them 
														a personal record 
														ribbon. We have over 150 
														ribbons to give out this 
														week of athletes who 
														beat them selves! 
														congratulations.

														and Wednesday during 
														practice, please see

														information table.
