Vermilion Meet Information

Cross Country Athletes and Parents:

Here’s our weekly update:

Cloverleaf was really wet, really muddy, and, actually, really fun! The bus ride home, not so much. I’ve just finished doing laundry from the meet, and I washed a lot of the jackets, some shirts/shorts, and also have some missing water bottles from this meet. Please check the Lost & Found in Coach Walters’ room for any lost items!

Clague Park Fun Run is set for Wednesday, October 2^nd. This is a tri-meet with Amherst and Westlake, an informal 1.5 – mile run and a tradition for these three SWC schools! We’re still trying to get buses for this race, but shouldn’t have a problem. Here’s the schedule:

7th Girls     4:30

7th Boys    4:45

8th Girls     5:00

8th Boys    5:15

Boy runners: we need to know who wants to go to the OHSAA Middle School Cross Country Championships! We are allowed to take 20 total boys, and we’ll take the top 20, but before we decide who are the top 20 boy runners, we first need to know who’s eligible to go to this optional race. So, let us know by Wednesday, October 2^nd, so we can start planning for this race! Girl runners, we can take all of you if you want to go. We’ll register all girl runners and then scratch whoever can’t make it. We’ll give more information for this race as we receive it.

The end of the season is quickly approaching! With the end of our season soon upon us, the coaching staff is planning some fun activities that hopefully will promote team-building and an appreciation for the hard work put in this season! Next week’s activities include:

Wednesday, October 2^nd              Clague Park Fun Run

Friday, October 4^th                          Friday Night Dinner & AL CC Movie Night (in the Learwood Auditorium)

Saturday, October 5^th                     Dairy Queen AFTER Jack Wilhelm Invitational (parents can pick up athletes from Avon Lake Dairy Queen)

I’m attaching a copy of the Cloverleaf Meet Cheat Sheet here. I’ll post this week’s version later in the week.
