Here’s our weekly update:

·         Parents, we still have a surplus of paper plates, plastic cups, plastic silverware, napkins, and drinks for the dinners. Just stop by my room (404) to pick up what you need!
·         Apparel: any issues, see Coach Walters. We passed out apparel on Wednesday, but a lot of kids left their new clothes in her room. Stop by to claim your gear!
·         Lost & Found: we have missing items in our classrooms. Please stop by again to claim your items! Any lost items, by the end of the season, will be donated to charity.
·         We have added a meet to our schedule! The Clague Park ‘Fun Run’ is scheduled for Wednesday, October 7th, at Clague Park in Westlake. We will be running with Amherst and Westlake. This is an additional meet that the three teams schedule each year—our little tradition. The race is 1.5 miles long and the kids LOVE it! We’ll post times for this in the near future.
·         Just a heads-up…very soon we will need to know who is willing to go to the OHSAA Middle School Cross Country Championships. We can take a maximum of 40 athletes: 10 Boys’ Team/10 Girls’ Team/10 Boys’ Open/10 Girls’ Open. The race is a week after the SWC Championship (Saturday, October 18th). We’ll talk to the team about this but we need to know who can make this meet so we can take as many kids as we can, without leaving anybody out who would want to go!
·         I’m going to send out our Cheat Sheet here!

Cloverleaf Information:

·         We will meet at Troy at 6:15 a.m.
·         We should return around noon.
·         This meet is where we take a lot of the OPEN runners and bump them up to TEAM status. Team runners will run a workout with me, then cheer on their teammates. Any TEAM runner we rest will get their spot back for the Upper Sandusky race. We want to rest some runners who need it, while still allowing other runners to run TEAM this week. All runners are expected to be in attendance!
·         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 be on baumspage.com!
·         Weather looks great! For the first time in a few years, it looks like it will be sunny and dry (much to the disappointment of the kids).
·         Parents, this race usually charges an admission fee.
·         Concessions and t-shirts will be available.
·         This race is held at Cloverleaf High School (8525 Friendsville Road, Lodi, OH 44254).
·         Here’s the schedule:

9:00 a.m.         Girls Team
                        Mackenzie, Liz, Elle, Liv, Caroline, Ava, & Abby Baird
