This meet always seems to be a competitive and exciting meet ... bragging rights are at stake for the year among these athletes and friends who have been competing for years. School size and facilities aside, we have always been competitive in this meet (We were second last year) and have no intention of changing that tradition. This is typically the meet when all of our athletes who graduated in the past check to see how this year's team is doing. It's a meet that means a little more than the meets have so far. When last year's boys team won for the first time since 1956, there was a definite response from our past athletes. So be prepared ... your competition will be ... have fun and enjoy the competitive atmosphere! This is why we do the work.
Every healthy athlete available is competing tomorrow so we hope to see a good turnout for our fan section. The team will meet after the last event (4 x 400) to hear the final results and take a team lap. As a reminder, athletes are either preparing to compete, competing, cooling down or cheering/assisting competing athletes during the meet. No athlete is to leave the grounds during the meet, other than to warm up, without a coaches permission (no snack runs!). Our team should be the complete focus tomorrow during the meet. On a final note ... at the risk of sounding like a curmudgeon, please wear your team warm ups from this year if you have them, or last year's if you have those. Leave your competing team's sweatshirts, shorts and t-shirts at home the rest of this year's schedule!
Coach Neisler and I will be in the lounge area right after school tomorrow to give rides to any athlete needing one. If you need a ride, please let me know before tomorrow at noon so I know who to expect. If you are riding with us, please be ready to go by 3:15p.
Enjoy this beautiful day ... drink water and stretch out today and rest tonight.
Quote of the day:
"Racing teaches us to challenge ourselves. It teaches us to push beyond where we thought we could go. It helps us to find out what we are made of. This is what we do. This is what it's all about."
