Greetings
all!
The trip to Michigan,
although a giant stress on me at times, was a success. The girls behaved
fantastically (at least as far as I know!) and they raced very well too!
44 out of the 55 girls that raced ran a season's best or a personal
record, and some of those PR's were BIG. I'm glad they took advantage of
the weather, course, and competition - that's what it's all about. In
typical coach fashion I'm hoping we have all learned that there is always more
in the tank than we once believed. Perhaps some of you have shown
yourself you can do even more. There are 10 days left until the last meet
for the JV, and in some ways, the varsity season is really just beginning.
We have 2 meets left.
Sim Earich is at the Trumbull County Fairgrounds next Saturday. It
is flat and very fast. Everyone except varsity will be running. The
following Wednesday is senior night. I believe we will run the girls at
5:00pm and the boys to follow. I think we will try introducing the
seniors after and go straight into the picnic.
For senior night we
will need a lot of pre-race parent help to clear the course. We have
found a few good leaf blowers do the trick. If you have a back pack
blower and an hour on the night before that would help a lot! We will
need some touch ups at 4:00pm on the day of the race as well as I'm sure leaves
will fall overnight.
There are some goofy
school schedules coming up - I may not be aware of all of them, so let me know
please!
Uniform collection
will be after school one day after the JV season ends. Please have
uniforms washed before then. A date will be set.
The end-of-season
banquet will be catered completely this year, so no potluck style. I
believe a cost of $5-10 per person will be required. More on this as it
gets closer (I can't even remember the date, but it's a week or two after the
state meet in November).
