Country Parents:
Here's the information regarding the Avon Lake EarlyBird Invitational at Lorain County Community College (LCCC).
·
Athletes need to be at Learwood at 6
a.m.
·
Bus leaves at 6:15 a.m.
·
All boys run at 8 a.m.
·
All girls run at 8:30 a.m.
·
Our estimated time of arrival back at
Learwood is between 10 - 10:30 a.m. We will have athletes call home once we
leave LCCC so parents can arrange transportation home from Learwood.
·
Avon Lake is hosting this meet. If you
are interested in volunteering, please contact our Athletic Director, Tom
Barone, at tom.barone@avonlakecityschools.org.
Some
reminders about the meet:
·
Bring extra apparel (t-shirt,
sweatshirt, shorts, extra socks, sandals)
·
Athletes should only wear sandals when
they are back on the bus!
·
Bring a healthy snack, something
healthy to drink (water is best!), and a cell phone to call home on our way
back to Avon Lake.
·
Parents, continue signing out with
Coach Walters if you are taking your child home with you. Only parents can sign
out athletes.
Coach Walters will either be at the finish line, start line, or at the campsite—but
she will most likely be at the finish line.
·
After the race, results will be posted
online at www.baumspage.com. On that
webpage, click on Cross Country. Then scroll down to Avon Lake Invitational (9/1/12).
Click there to find out results. Please note: results may not be updated until
later in the day that Saturday or perhaps even into the day on Sunday.
·
Course maps are the same as last
week's, which you should be able to access on the team blog site. We will also
provide copies on race day.
About
the team:
·
If any parents want to take pictures of
the team, that would be great. The last 3 years, we had parents take parents
and we put together a team slideshow at our awards night. It’s been great! If
you need any assistance or want to let me know if you are interested, just
email me (rob.rocco@avonlakecityschools.org).
Parents have set up slideshows, online accounts where athletes/parents can view
team pictures, and we’ve even passed out picture DVDs on awards night if that
is more convenient. Let me know!
·
Team behavior at last week’s meet was
excellent. We will be assigning jobs for athletes on race day so the set-up and
break-down of the camp runs as smoothly as last week. Any parent who could help
in supervision of our camp after the races would be appreciated!
·
Team support last week was awesome!
Let's keep it up this week--it's important to cheer on other runners as they
need encouragement throughout their races.
·
Runners must show excellent
sportsmanship again this week—we will continue to be respectful of other teams.
If there are any issues with other teams please let me know but so far so good!
·
The races this week will determine who
runs the team/open races at Tiffin. The top 7 runners will be on team, all
other runners will be open runners, but all runners will have the
opportunity to run at
Tiffin!
·
ATHLETES NEED TO RUN ON MONDAY!
·
Monday’s workout: 18 (new runners), 30, 34, or
42 minutes (all runners who TRAIN with the team runners have to run 42
minutes!)
·
We are trying to get a bus for Cahoon Park next
week for hill work. We’ll let you know if/when we can procure a bus!
·
We have picture day on Wednesday,
September 5th, at the end of our practice. We should be done by 5
p.m. at the latest, but if there are any issues we’ll have athletes call home!
·
Lastly, we have to talk about the
Tiffin Carnival we are going to on Saturday, September 8th. It is a
gigantic invitational that the kids should really enjoy! We’ll provide more
information next week but Coach Walters and I have been talking about bringing
some snacks for the team as it is a long day. If you can help out, that would
be great!
See
you Saturday!
