Upper Sandusky Meet

Cross Country Athletes & Parents:

Here’s our weekly update:

·         Cloverleaf was awesome! Even though it was a tough course, it looked like it was a PR day for many of the runners! Congrats!

·         Clague Park Fun Run is set for Tuesday, October 7th. 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
·         We are organizing for the OHSAA Middle School Invitational. This is an optional race, where we take the top 40 athletes. We are taking 10 team boys & 10 open boys and 10 team girls & 10 open girls. We will base this first on who wants to go, then on the top times of each gender. We’re asking runners to let us know by Wednesday, October 1st, if they want to attend this optional meet, so we can start planning for this race!
          If you are interested in going to this meet please fill out this form by Wednesday, October 1st.  Click here to get to the form. Reminder: The TOP 20 girls and TOP 20 boys will be attending.  
·         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! The next 2 weeks’ activities include:
Friday, October 3rd                         Friday Night Dinner & AL CC Movie Night (in the Learwood Auditorium)
Saturday, October 4th                     Dairy Queen AFTER Jack Wilhelm Invitational (parents can pick up athletes from Avon Lake Dairy Queen)
Wednesday, October 7th              Clague Park Fun Run
Saturday, October 11th                  End-of-season Bowling Celebration (after SWCs)

Upper Sandusky Information:

·         We are replacing our Vermilion Invitational for the Upper Sandusky race. Parents, we realize this race is far away, but we strategically tried to find a replacement meet that has a flat, fast course for this particular week. Vermilion used to be the meet that met that criteria for us. Vermilion is no longer an option for us, and we’re not going back there.
·         We are leaving school early for this one! Students will be let out at 1:55 p.m., and we’re leaving Learwood between 2:10 – 2:15 p.m.
·         We should return to Learwood between 8:30 – 8:45 p.m. Parents, we’ll make sure students are doing homework on the bus.
·         This is an OPEN race! We’re running OPEN races from here on out.
·         Please pack a nice snack for this (crackers, banana, apple, water, sports drink), as you’ll want to eat prior to arriving to the meet and after your race.
·         Results will be on baumspage.com
·         Weather looks much better this week! Remember to dress in layers!
·         There is no concession stand, but all runners will get a free hot dog, potato chips, and water
·         This race is held at:

Harrison – Smith Park
East Wyandot Avenue
Upper Sandusky, Ohio

·          Here’s the schedule:

5:00 p.m.         All Boys
5:30 p.m.         All Girls

Awards Presentation will be held after the Girls’ Race
