The team will be dismissed from classes tomorrow at 1:30p and leave on the bus by 1:45p. This meet is mostly relays and does not follow the traditional meet format. I will include an order of events. The weather forecast is, unfortunately, typical for this season so far. It may rain early and will be very cool (mid 30's) and some wind. Please help us ensure your athlete is prepared. Extra clothes, garbage bags to keep them dry, hat, gloves and a blanket or heavier jacket. Water and snacks too ... may be a late night returning.
While our team is currently experiencing a few injuries to athletes, we have had several athletes step up to help the team be competitive. We are hopeful all our sidelined athletes will return healthy very soon! In the mean time, we continue to prepare for some important meets the next few weeks. This coming Monday (4/22) is the Girl's Intercity at CCHS. FS Conference is Tuesday, 4/30 at CCHS. Varsity Conference is in two weeks, Friday, 5/3 at Prairie Central and Sectionals is three short weeks from today in Dunlap. I am encouraged by and hopeful for this team. Although they are a young team, they love to compete. I also love the support this team has received from our parents. We have been emphasizing to the team to take care of themselves during this training and competition "month". You can continue to help your athlete by encouraging words, ensuring they eat well, drink plenty of water and get the rest they need. I know the last part is hard to do with all the demands of school this time of year, so your support is crucial. Team success can be a fragile and elusive goal ... our athletes being healthy is essential to reaching those goals.
We are expecting all athletes unless they have been excused from the meet. This is especially important when transporting by bus ... we need to ensure we account for everyone. If an athlete leaves early with a parent, they must be signed out by the parent before they leave. It can be a task ensuring the safety of and accounting for 40+ athletes, one we take seriously ... your help is really appreciated!
Quote of the Day: (appropriate for this time of year)
"Take care of yourself. Eat well, rest, train hard and smart, make time to think and breathe. Be intentional with your time."
