Cross Country Athletes & Parents:

Here’s our weekly update:

Parents, please remind your kids about the importance of ALWAYS sticking together at meets. We stress this as a coaching staff prior to every meet, but if you could talk about the importance of athletes always sticking together, that would help. We want athletes together at all times. Whenever athletes go cheer on other runners, use the restroom, go to concessions to buy something, or warm-up/cool-down, we tell them they must be with someone else from Avon Lake. If you could reinforce this concept we would greatly appreciate it!

We need to know who’s going to the OHSAA Middle School Cross Country Championships! Please sign up on the blog site so the coaching staff can appropriately register runners for this race.

Time to eat healthy, drink plenty of water, and stock up on rest! Our hard workouts are over for the year. It’s time to rest, we are beginning to taper. Taper…this is one of the greatest words in an endurance athlete’s vocabulary. For this last week, avoid all soda, eat very healthy foods, drink plenty of water, get a LOT of sleep (middle schoolers need to average 9 hours 15 minutes of sleep a night), and STRETCH after practice, on Sunday, and before you go to bed each night. It’s not what you do the day before a race, it matters what you do the WEEK before a race!

Movie Night is tonight (Friday, October 4^th). We will be watching the Karate Kid (1984 version)! For my money, this is the best movie about a kid who learns karate, probably ever. In fact, it’s my favorite movie of all-time. Parents, this is a PG-rated film, but there are no inappropriate scenes (it’s played on the ABC Family Channel all the time). We will be watching it after our Friday Night Dinner in the auditorium. We should be done by 7:15ish, if not earlier. This is an optional activity we plan for the kids, you do not have to be in attendance!

I’m attaching a copy of last week’s Meet Cheat Sheet here. Next week’s final ‘Cheat Sheet’ of the year will be passed out at our final team meeting (either Monday or Tuesday).

Jack Wilhelm Information:

We will meet at DAIRY QUEEN parking lot at 7:45 a.m.

We will return to DAIRY QUEEN around 11:15ish, where we will get ice cream.

Athletes, the coaching staff cannot afford to buy you all ice cream (sorry), so make sure to bring money for your ice cream/lunch (this should be your last ‘garbage’ food you eat until SWCs).

Normal breakfast still applies, with a light snack both before & after the race. Bring water for both before and after the race, and don’t forget your sports drink!

Results will NOT be posted for this race. Times will NOT be posted either. Coach Walters will be highlighting times on a spreadsheet, which can be tough to do with the large volume of runners we’ve got, so if you can help out on Saturday please let us know!

This race is at LCCC. The same course map is used. We’ve got a link of it on the blog.

 Here’s the schedule:

10:00 a.m.       ALL Girls                    

10:30 a.m.       ALL Boys
