Second Sole

Avon Lake Runners:

Second Sole has been very supportive of our program, other programs in the Cleveland area, and many individuals within our running community for a long time. We would like to do what we can to help them weather this storm. Currently, they cannot have customers in the store but are still offering ways to get running supplies to people. We encourage you to take advantage of these options if you need shoes, clothing, etc. Buying gift certificates to give to family and friends will also go a long way. Here are some options:

1. Call 440-895-1311 for assistance, curbside pick-up, or free delivery
2. Send an email to bill@2ndsole.com with questions and orders
3. Search on Facebook for '2nd Sole-Lakewood, OH'

They are also now offering a virtual shoe fit on their website:

Avon Lake vs. Avon Concussion Baseline Challenge

Hey Guys:

First, I hope everyone is healthy and staying safe during this difficult time. I also want to reach out to you to let you know that Avon Lake High School is competing against Avon High School to see which school can complete the most concussion baseline tests by Friday, May 1st. This challenge is extended to all 8th graders who need to complete this online test as they enter high school in the fall (it is not intended for 7th graders). Even though we cannot physically compete against them right now, we still have the opportunity to capture a win by beating them in this challenge. The losing athletic training staff must have their picture taken in the other school's football jersey.

Here's the link with instructions for testing: ImPACT Online Instructions

Stay safe and healthy, and hope to see you all some time in the summer as we gear up for cross country season!
