Parent Volunteer: I need a parent volunteer that can stay until all athletes are picked up because coaches will leave at 8:59pm :-)  

Dessert Options:  The cost covers pizza/soda.  If anyone would like to donate desserts that would be awesome.  

Here’s our weekly update:

We will go over who signed up for the OHSAA Middle School Meet this week!

 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 moved to Friday, October 10th. 

We will be voting on what movie we want to watch this week!

Our final ‘Cheat Sheet’ of the year will be passed out at our final team meeting (Monday, October 6^th).
