What an awesome first week of practice! We had a lot of new athletes ready to come out and contribute to our team. The goal is now to KEEP everyone coming out. This is going to be a big week. We need to: get everyone registered and cleared to be on the team, everything lined up for the PV Invite which will be on the week we get back from Spring Break, and we have our first meets this weekend.
Registration: If you haven't yet finished your registration, please go to registermyathlete.com and get it all taken care of. This includes getting your Fees paid. To be cleared for practice and meets, you must also have Physical taken care of.
Pine View Invite: Our Invite is coming up on the week we get back from Spring Break. We are looking for a few parents who would volunteer to help with the concession stand as well as with the weigh-in of implements. The concession stand will be open from around 12:30p until the end of the meet 8:30p on Friday and from 8:30a until the end of the meet around 2:00 on Saturday. We try and organize about two shifts each day. If you are interested, please email Coach Holt at pineviewtrack@gmail.com. The weigh-in of implements is a pretty easy chore that needs a shift from 12:00p - 1:30p on Friday and another shift from 8:00a - 9:30a on Saturday. Again, please contact Coach Holt if you are willing to help. Another thing we need from athletes is water and Gatorade donations. We are asking the boys to bring 20oz bottles of sports drink (often available as 8 packs from grocery stores) and the girls to bring 16-17oz (usually 16.9oz) bottles of water. Bring as many as you can. And we ask that you bring them by Wednesday the 21st, so we can know if we need to buy more.
This Week's Races: We have two meets this weekend. It is not set yet as to what meet everyone will be traveling to. However, athletes will know by practice on Wednesday. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT EACH ATHLETE KNOW WHETHER HE/SHE CAN ATTEND WHICH MEETS (for the entire season, but especially this weekend) FOR OUR TEAM MEETING ON MONDAY. This will allow the coaches to put each athlete into the correct meets and events.
Virgin Valley Invite - Friday, March 9, Virgin Valley HS, Mesquite, NV. Throwing events start at 2:30p and running events at 3:00p NV time. Those attending this meet will be excused from the HS at 1:35 (after 4th period) and the MS at 1:45. The bus will come to the MS to pick up the MS'ers.
Snow Canyon Invite - Friday and Saturday, March 9-10, Snow Canyon HS. I just got word this meet will start at 4:00p on Friday (not 3:00 as originally planned), so we may try and move our bus back. But for now, the schedule will be HS out at 1:35 and MS at 1:45. On Saturday, the bus will leave from the HS at 7:45a (no pick up at the MS on Saturday).
Other Bus Info: For both meets, you MUST ride the bus to the meet to participate. If you are leaving with your parent(s), you may after the meet after signing out with the coach. You may NOT leave with someone else's parents, friends, or anyone other than your guardian. In more extreme circumstances, you may leave before the completion of the meet, but this must be approved with the coaches before the meet.
Spring Break Schedule: Each event group will have its own schedule of practice over Spring Break. Please check with your event coaches for your practice schedule. If you are out of town, please do you best to keep to the practice schedule.
Again, we are very excited to have each of you out with our team. This is our best turn out in years! It is very exciting to think what we can accomplish as a team with so many of you coming out and wanting to do great things.
A final thought:
