Return to Candler Park

Congratulations to all who ran the Peachtree Road Race.  The day turned out to be fairly cool, and we would have thought it was cool even if the temperature had been much higher.

"Dead Week" is now officially over!!!  I trust you were all able to find time and partners to get out and run last week (every day?)  We will meet again Monday at 6:00 and get back to our three day/ week routine.  If you are going to be out of town, find time and place to get in your daily running.  If you are in Atlanta, come join us at Candler (and recruit a friend to join also).

Make your appointment for a physical NOW!!!  We always have team members who put it off until the last minute, but not this year.  On August 1st, no physical, no practice.  You must have 15 practices before you can compete with the team in meets.  There is also a minimum number of practices to earn a varsity letter.  I will give you a team contract to sign on August 1st.  It will spell out all the expectations.

The fall schedule is not final yet, but plan on Grant Park meets every Wednesday at 5:00 (6 meets + City championship).  Region will most likely be the last Saturday in October or Nov 3rd.  State is November 10th.  We will try to compete in three invitationals spaced out over the fall (Sept 15 is Marist invite on the course where region will be held)  I will give you the full schedule as soon as I can get dates confirmed.
