Two & Half Weeks and Then...

Keep spreading the news, the summer is drawing toward its inevitable conclusion.  We need the following to happen:

1. Keep coming to practice Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays at Candler Park until Monday, July 30th.

2.  Bring me your physical/insurance forms as soon as you get them done (before Wednesday, August 1st).

3.  If you are out of town, find a time and place to run in your alternate universe.

4.  Look at the northern sky tonight and before dawn tomorrow morning to see if we get an auroral display from the recent solar flare.

5.  Wednesday, August 1st, we return to Piedmont Park (6:00pm).  We will meet Wednesday, Thursday and Friday with an optional Saturday morning run at 8:30am.

6.  Practices will be at 4:00pm in Piedmont Park beginning the first day of school, (August 6th.) Let's start with the resolve that we will attend every day and work toward another year of qualifying for the state meet.

7.  A T-shirt design.  Deadline will be August 10th.

8.  You must have 15 recorded practices (after August 1st) to receive a uniform, team T-shirt and the privilege of running in the first City Meet on September 5th.  Not everyone has run the first meet in past years.  This year can be different!

9. First meet will be at Grant Park Sept 5th, with a meet there every Wednesday after school (5:00pm) until October 17th.

10. Pencil in September 15 (Marist), Oct 13 (Asics), Nov 3 (Region), Nov 10 (State);  Official schedule will be made available on August 1st.

We have had 62 team members attend practice at least once.  We average 21 kids each day.  This may be our best summer ever! Freshmen/women are looking good.  We need your numbers to support the team.  Everyone is a varsity runner. I have a new computer so maybe those who have been missing emails will get them now.
