Hey Everyone,
It is hard to believe it’s already September and we’re really getting into meet season. I hope that you are all working hard on your own in addition to the workouts we’ve done together in practice.
Here are a few important updates along with our schedule for the week:
• We had a great turnout Saturday at the Run for Ret and meet results are posted here: http://gotrievents.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/RfR_2014RESULTS.htm Great job to our experienced runners and new runners who completed their first 5K! It is a slow and sandy course, but you all did great!
• It is important to have our entire team attend every meet. Students who do not give at least 2 weeks notice of a possible conflict with a meet do not allow us to put our best foot forward and we do not want to pay meet fees for students who do not attend. We paid an extra $60 in registration fees for students who were not able to attend the Run for Ret last minute. Please check the full meet schedule (attached), and let me know well in advance of any possible conflict. The only excused absences are sickness or family emergencies.
• Students who are playing 2 sports need to still complete any missed workouts on their own. This will allow our team to have the proper conditioning to do the best at our meet!
• Uniforms should be here by Friday (hopefully). We will need these for our meet on Saturday. Drop by before the end of school in my room Friday to make sure you have your uniform.
• If you haven’t done so, be sure that you have the proper running shoes. Go to Palmetto Running Company or Go Tri Sports to get the proper footwear that will fit your natural stride. This can make your running experience more comfortable! :)
