· Bus leaves at 6:15 a.m.
· Girls’ Open runs at 8:40 a.m.

Trent Glasser, Kevin Knip, Dan Furrer, A.J. McManaman, Alex Thieken, Nick Fowkes, and Joey Lyons
· Our estimated time of arrival back at Learwood is 12:30 p.m. We will have athletes call home when we are almost back in Avon Lake!
· We are dealing with a lot of injuries this week so if there are any changes to the team/open races we will notify the team.
Some reminders about the meet:
· Bring something to eat as it will be a long ride home.
· Parents, there is a $3 admission fee to get in to this meet. This is the only meet where they charge to get in!
· Coach Walters will NOT be at this meet. Instead, Coach Marlow will be there. He’s a very nice, very large man who teaches at Learwood and coaches
baseball in the spring. He will be at the finish line to help with times and to sign out athletes. You won’t be able to miss him!
· Only parents can sign out their children, they cannot sign out other athletes.
· Parents, your help this season has been unbelievable! If you could help out at this meet, especially with Coach Marlow, that would be great. The
start/finish of this race are at different locations. The start is at the bottom of a hill and finish is on top of a hill. Also, the times for races are more
condensed, so I will be running around like crazy. So it will be even more important to give Coach Marlow a hand at the finish! Thanks for all your help!
· A concession stand and t-shirts will be available.
About the team:
· I am keeping a Cross Country Lost & Found in my classroom. It is filling up fast! If anyone is missing anything, please stop by room 404!
· We got some compliments from other teams at Wadsworth on our team behavior—keep it up! Remember to encourage each other, push each other, and
display good sportsmanship.
· This meet will help determine who runs team/open races at next week’s Vermilion Invitational. The top 7 runners will be on team, all other runners will be
open runners, but all runners will have the opportunity to run. We may have to make adjustments, however, due to the large number of injuries we are
experiencing.
· A lot of athletes have gone to the trainer. Keep me posted on your progress! If you are injured you don’t have to come to practice, especially on Tuesdays
and Thursdays as we are most likely participating in roadwork workouts. We want ALL athletes (injured and healthy) to come to practice on Fridays (for
the dinner!) and to the meets to support the team. Just keep me posted on your progress!
· We are ordering our cross country apparel this week! Please have all forms turned in by Thursday so I can process the orders on Friday! We sent an email
out about this and there are extra forms in my classroom.
· We will have a shortened practice on Friday due to the Activity Night at Learwood. We will practice right after school, we will have a short run, then we
will be ending practice at around 3:30 p.m. so athletes can still attend the majority of the dance/activities being held that night. There will be no Friday Night Dinner due to the dance.
· Lastly, please encourage your child to pick up after themselves at the end of meets! We have talked about keeping their items in a duffel bag so the
coaching staff does not have to pick up garbage/clothing items at the end of meets. We do a great job setting up camp, but we have to work on getting
things picked up and loaded on the bus in a more timely fashion. Thanks for your help on this!
Looking forward to seeing you all on Saturday!Coach Rocco
Coach Walters
