As of this writing we have just 12 days until the first practice! Time really crept up in us. Hope it was a great fall and winter for you and you are having an active spring.
As my thoughts turn to coaching we see you all on the track, warming up, playing around, running workouts and in your events at meets. In my mind it is a fun picture which we look to re-create this season.
A big change this year is the addition of Coach Lisa Turner. Lisa is the Wellness Coordinator at the YMCA and has coached College Cross Country. She is running the Boston Marathon in a week!
Practices this year will be M, W, F, from 5:30 to 6:45 vs. 6:00 as in previous years. They will again be at the OHS Track or if there is a H.S. meet we will be on the soccer fields. The FIRST practice is Wed. the 21st. IMPORTANT - there will be a MANDITORY parents meeting in the OHS cafeteria at 5:30 that day. If you do not attend this meeting or call and make special arrangements with Lisa or me your child will not practice. It is imperative that we are all on the same page with meets, USATF and AAU memberships, practice schedules etc.
Two meets are already scheduled with the Merton Club. The USATF Meet is 6/19 in Waukesha and the AAU meet is Sunday the 26th in Waukesha. USAFT national qualifier meet is 7/10 and 11 in Waukesha. AAU Regional is TBD. Both National meets are on the coasts so we will discuss interest after regionals.
We are looking for volunteer help with administrative duties. As our work schedules are tight up to 5:30 please save all questions until after the practice. Please check your E-mail box for Roadrunner updates. |
