SWC Week!

BOWLING MONEY IS DUE TOMORROW (THURSDAY)  $12.00 in a sealed envelope with athlete's name on it!!!  You may be able to run like a champion but can you bowl like a king? 

SWC WEEK

Here we go! This is the final week of the season. 

Please check Coach Walters’ room for any missing items! At the end of our season we’re going to place all missing items in Learwood’s Lost & Found.

Parents, while this final race is centrally located, make sure to remind kids to stick together!

Time to get some rest! Eat healthy this week, drink a lot of water, stock up on sleep (9 hours, 15 minutes a night), and STRETCH before bed! Avoid soda, junk food, and limit sweets to one dessert a day! Remember, it’s not what you do Friday night, it’s what you do this whole week.

Parents and athletes: typically athletes like to toilet paper my house the Thursday before SWCs. But, there’s a lot of construction on my street and my front yard is a mud pit with the sewer separation project. I think we should skip this tradition this year. Maybe Coach Arebaugh will allow his house to be toilet papered! He said he likes toilet paper in his yard, it was weird but that’s what he said to me.

Bowling Reminder: after SWCs we meet at Spevock’s Bowling in Avon Lake. We’ll be bowling from 4 – 6 p.m. Make sure Coach Walters has the $12 by Thursday of this week! Cash only please! Athletes, please bring your uniforms/jackets to bowling. The coaching staff will be collecting uniforms/jackets. Don’t worry about washing them, we’ll do that!

Parents: I’ve updated the bulletin board with our records. I am going to re-update it and laminate the Avon Lake SWC History, plus boys’ and girls’ records at Learwood, after our season. If you have any new pictures to print out and post, let me know and we’ll decorate it after SWCs.

I’m including Avon Lake’s SWC History here. Take a look at what athletes have done over the last 20 years!

Once we return to Avon Lake, go home, shower, then come bowl with your team (don’t forget your uniforms if you’re not running at the OHSAA Championships).
