Week of Avon Meet

Cross Country Athletes & Parents:

Here’s our weekly update:

• Great job at Tiffin last Saturday! That was our best overall finish. Our girls came in 7th place overall, and our boys came in 3rd place out of 42 teams! Our open races were amazing! Our girls came in 13th place out of 25 teams, and our boys won their open race, coming in 1st place out of 27 teams!

• If you still want to get a jacket, just let Coach Walters or Coach Rocco know on Friday.

• FYI parents: I've got a lot of supplies for the Friday Night Dinners in my classroom. Feel free to stop down and pick up any needed items before our next dinner.

• Speaking of which, there will be no Friday Night Dinner this Friday. Our next dinner will be next Friday, September 19.

• We will be having our 1st Annual Intra-Squad Meet this Saturday. We will be leaving TROY at 8 a.m., and should return between 10:30-11 a.m. We are going to LCCC. Coach Walters and I are organizing this event. It will be very low-key, but we would welcome a few parents to help out at the finish line. We'll need help organizing the runners into our 'chute' and we'll also need to assign place cards to each runner. We would also need a timer at the finish line to yell out times for our runners, as we won't be able to write down all the times (the course will be less than 2 miles, FYI). So, if you're interested in helping, please be at LCCC between 9-9:15 a.m. This should be fun!

• Injuries…please let us know! The trainer at the high school is very good, very nice, and…she’s very free. It doesn’t cost you anything to go see her. Although, Coach Arebaugh’s really good at diagnosing problems and he’s good at treating them (better than me). So let us know at the end of practice, or head up to the Athletic Office at the high school after school to see if Miss Reading can assist you! If she’s not in the trainer’s office she’ll be on the football field but she said you can meet her there too.

Avon Cross Country Course of Courage (ATHLETES):

• The Avon Meet on Thursday is going to have a lot of great competition. This is a perfect opportunity to practice racing with our SWC competition!
• We will be leaving Learwood at 3:15 p.m. and we should return around 7:30 p.m.
• Bring a healthy snack to eat after school on Thursday! Also, bring extra water for the meet.
• Right now, weather looks cool and dry (at least for the meet).
• Results will be posted on baumspage.com for this meet.
• This week's cheat sheet:  Click here.

Avon Cross Country Course of Courage (PARENTS):

• The course will be held at 3701 Veterans Memorial Parkway Avon, OH 44011
• Races start at the west end of the park (by fields #6 & #7)
• We've been told that the course is slightly different that last year's...if you remember last year's course, the start and finish were on opposite ends of the park. So, essentially, you had to run the length of the course to see the race. We'll have to find out what it's like this year!
