CVNP Meet

Cross Country Athletes & Parents:

Here’s what’s going on this week:

·         Lost & Found: we have missing items in our classrooms. Please stop by to claim your items! We’ll try bringing the lost items to the next couple of team dinners to be claimed. Any lost items, by the end of the season, will be donated to charity.

·         We are currently registering our team for the OHSAA Middle School Invitational (State Meet). We are planning on taking the top 20 boys & 20 girls on our team (who are interested in going). Please let us know if you’re interested in participating in this meet! The meet will be held in Lancaster, Ohio, on Saturday, October 22^nd—athletes who will be competing at this meet will be practicing the week prior to this meet!

·         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!

Cuyahoga Valley National Park (Woodridge) Invitational

Parents:

·         This is the first time we’re going to this meet, so we’ll try to get out as much information as we can (and that we know).

·         The race looks like it will be held at Virginia Hills at the Pine Hollow entrance (5465 Quick Road, Peninsula, OH 44264).

·         There is NO parking alongside the road of this race—meet organizers are asking that parents arrive at the meet early at the high school (4440 Quick Road, Peninsula, OH 44264) in order to catch the shuttle for the 2-mile trek to the course.

·         There is a ‘Fun Run’ that is free and is roughly 800 meters. It will start at 11:30 a.m. and is open to anyone not yet in 7^th grade.

·         T-shirts and concessions will be available.

·         Information can be found on baumspage.com (here’s the link: http://www.baumspage.com/cc/woodridge/2016/_j_%202016%20CVNP%20Program.pdf).

Athletes:

·         I wish I had shown you this video earlier this season, but, with our FINAL hard work-out week of the season, it’s appropriate. Are you the hardest-working team? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dc5s1t_B4mw

·         The bus will leave Troy at 6:45 a.m. (be at Troy at 6:35 a.m.).

·         We should return by 1:15 p.m.

·         Starting lines will be first come-first served—try to get an alley in the middle!

·         Concessions/t-shirts will be available.

·         Course maps can be found on the link above.
