About the meet:

• Parents, there is usually an admission fee of $3 for this meet. This should be the only meet where they charge people!
• Keep signing out athletes with Coach Walters at the finish line. Thanks for your cooperation! She will be very close to the chute area, and our campsite will be very close to the finish!
• Concessions & shirts will be available at this race

About the team:

• There are still a lot of missing items in my classroom (including a pair of girls' running shoes). We've told the athletes and we've had everyone check the missing items, but there are still a lot of unclaimed items.
• We are going to rest several of the team runners on both the boys and girls' sides for this meet. We are doing this for a few reasons:               

            1)    We wanted to rest our team runners for one race this season, and some time in the middle of the season is the ideal time to do so
            2)    Some of the team runners have health issues that we've been monitoring this season and they need some rest
            3)    Resting the team runners gives our open runners a chance to 'bump up' to team and see what it will be like for them in the future
            4)    Our varsity teams have done this for a few years now and we've noticed a few other middle school teams resting their teams once a season
            5)    Lastly, they just need a break! It's a long season and our only goal is to have everyone at peak performance at SWC Championship.

• Team runners not competing on Saturday still need to travel with the team. They are going to get a workout in at Cloverleaf, and they will be cheering on the rest of the team on Saturday. It's important they get a workout in that day! After their workout, they will help us out and help cheer on their fellow teammates.
• Any team member who is resting on Saturday will still keep their spot on team for the Vermilion Invitational. Vermilion is the last race for Team/Open delineations...the last two races will have the whole team running together! 

Looking forward to seeing you all on Saturday!
