Hi Everyone! Apologies for the day late message, I was "out of office" yesterday.
Practice:
This week on Wednesday we will be doing our "time trial" for the 100, 200, 400, and 800. This is to gauge where you are at so far and see what events may fit you better. Later this week for those of you without times yet that are doing distance, we can run a mile and two mile. I will also be putting together our relay teams. Typically I just take the top 4 fastest in the 100m and 400m and that makes the teams. Girls will most likely also have a "B Team" since we have a lot of you.
Please make a mental note that if you are on a relay team you need to stay after practice to learn handoffs. This is particularly important for the 4x100.
Anyone running the 400m and shorter should be practicing block starts as well whenever possible. I will get together with you this week and go over it more.
Tony Pepperoni:
Reminder that this Friday after practice we will be going to Tony Pepperoni! It is a great pizza place on Grand Ave near the school if you have not been. We should all be there by 6. Family and friends are all invited to join us as well!
RB Bronco Invite:
Next weekend, March 9th, we have our first Invitational. If you cannot attend please let me know before the end of the week. Not everyone qualifies, but I will enter as many as I can to see who makes it. I need entries finalized by Sunday, so it is very important I know if you're not gonna be there. We don't want to have you entered for a relay and then have to scratch the race if you don't come. Please communicate with me at practice if you need questions answered.
League Meet #1:
Next Thursday, March 7th, is our first League Meet, I expect you all to be there. Please communicate if you have a conflict. I will have entries finalized next Tuesday so start thinking about it now. I will bring the events list Monday so you can see what I have entered you in. You will have the option to change it that day if you would like to do a different event. Everyone can compete at these meets so plan on being there start to finish to support your team. Let me know if you have questions on this as well.
