HELLO CHAMPIONS!!!
Congratulations boys for locking in state for the SECOND YEAR IN A ROW and making history with OUR FIRST CIF CHAMPIONSHIP WIN!!! Amazing job girls for securing a runner-up finish, just as planned in our goal, by a landslide over the third team. They also are making history as the girls have not made it to state since 2011 when only 4 teams were in the division! I am beyond proud of all of you for suffering through every bit of the fight to make this great feat possible. You are all so INCREDIBLE!
This Week:
Practice will be pretty standard. Please make sure to get there, we can only push hard this week. Next week will be light.
Sunday- Rest
Monday- Kit Carson 3:45-5:10
Tuesday- Del Dios 3:45-5:10
Wednesday- RBCP 3:45-5:10
Thursday- Kit Carson 3:45-5:10
Friday- Kit Carson 3:45-5:10
Saturday- Rest
Next Week:
Next week will be the same practice schedule, aside from no practice on Thanksgiving Day. I will expect you all to get a light home run in still.
Most of the information for the meet can be found on the CIFSD website. There is an admission fee so buy tickets ahead of time. You will need to get into the park.
As a reminder, all athletes' rooms are taken care of at the Sonesta in Fresno. We have two rooms for the girls and two for the boys. Coaches will be staying there as well. Call and book now, or somewhere close to the park, if you have not. Hotels get very hard to find from the volume of travelers, you do not want to wait any longer.
State Travel Plan:
FRIDAY:
Please reach out asap if you are needing to go in a school van with me so I can arrange travel for you properly. I need to know if we for sure need two school vans or just one.
I am planning to leave the school early on Friday morning to go to Fresno. I'd like to get there nice and early so we can check in to our hotel and change. We will then go straight to Woodward Park and run the course.
** I highly recommend anyone wanting merch to purchase it Friday at the course. They will be set up from noon-5:30 Friday. The lines are pretty wild on Saturday and they sell out. They will be open 8:30-3:30 Saturday. **
After running the course we will return to the hotel and get changed for dinner. We will all go out, families invited as well, together. Restaurant is TBD, send your vote if you know anywhere really good in Fresno lol. Last year was pretty good so we can always do the same.
Rest of the night is at the hotel, I believe they have a pool and hot tub open till 10:00pm.
SATURDAY:
Saturday we will be up bright and early. We have time for breakfast then will go to the course. Parking fills up very very fast, so the earlier the better.
Boys race at 11:30am and girls race at 1:00pm. Awards are at 12:15pm and 1:45pm respectively.
We will then head back home. We can stop for food once we get a good distance down the road. Hoping to return to school by 9:00pm.
