This week's schedule is below. A few notes to pass along
first.
Team Gear orders are due MONDAY at practice. Be sure your checks are NOT written to SJA,
instead they should be written to KRH Trading.
If you did not get the paper for ordering look for a separate email with
an online version of the order form. We
ask that every athlete order a team t-shirt and that new athletes order the
jacket and pants for warm-ups. This is a
one-time purchase that will cover cc, indoor, and outdoor track for 4 years
(that’s 12 season for the price of one!!)
The post-season information has finally been posted. We will be competing at Medina again with 5
teams qualifying to the Boardman regional.
This will be a tough district, but finishing top 5 certainly within our
grasp. Our top 7 runners will be
competing in this meet.
The first meet is near Cedarville, Ohio. It is an overnight trip. We will leave Friday at lunch and return
somewhere near 7:00pm Saturday evening.
This meet includes a series of elite level dual meets – our meet is with
Thomas Worthington. We will only take
athletes who have been regularly attending the first week’s practices. If any athlete in the first 4 weeks misses 5
practices for any reason they will not be attending this overnight trip. This is a very generous amount of misses –
most programs would probably cut an athlete that misses more than one practice
per week on average. These people will
not be in trouble, they simply will not be traveling on the overnight and will
begin their season the next week at Tiffin.
Saturday, August 19th is the annual canoe run in
Canal Fulton. Athletes will need money,
a signed waiver, and pack a lunch for a picnic after. We will have bus transportation to and from
the canoe run. Bus leaves at 8:00am and
will return by 4:00pm if not sooner.
Saturday, August 26th is when teams will be
allowed to have their first meet. We
will have some form of an intersquad 2 mile race instead since we are starting
a week later. Please do not schedule
anything for this morning! You will be
free after 12:00 if not sooner.
