End of Season Notes & OHSAA 7th & 8th Grade Invitational

END-OF-SEASON NOTES:

• Congrats on a great showing at SWCs! That was awesome, you really executed well! Thanks for your hard work this season, we appreciate it!
• Parents, thanks for all your help this season! Thanks for all the dinners, pictures, and flexibility this summer/fall! It's been a lot of fun.
• I'll be updating some end-of-season items:
• I'll be emailing athletes updates of season times
• Updated TEAM records and INDIVIDUAL records will be done soon
• I'll send a reminder text once completed
• Please turn in uniforms to Coach Peepers' classroom. Please wash you uniform and turn it into Coach Peepers. Please place everything in a bag and label it with your name. Don't forget to label it with your name!

OFF-SEASON TRAINING:

• Now that the season is over, our attention will transition to Track & Field season. If you're not running track this spring you can still train with us this winter. If you are running track this spring you absolutely should train with us this winter.
• We will take a break for these next three weeks! Unless you are training for a Turkey Trot 5K or another road race, take a break from running. Rest is important!
• We will begin off-season running the week of November 13th. This will be 3-4 days per week, but it will be much lighter than what we've done these last 3+ months. We will meet after school and will be done by 4 p.m. We'll text out a bi-weekly schedule throughout the fall/winter months...if you can't make a session we'll post manageable running times.
• We will be taking interested athletes to indoor meets this winter. We're going to offer opportunities for indoor meets this winter. We'll send out information regarding this, but initially we're thinking of going to a couple Oberlin indoor races in January/February.
• We will be starting conditioning for Track & Field the first week of February. Once the calendar switches to February, we'll be back for track season. We'll be meeting 5 days a week, with the idea that we'll build up our bases for time trials during track practice.

OHSAA 7th & 8th Grade Invitational:

• Bus leaves Troy at 6:30 a.m. Be there at 6:25 a.m. We're taking one bus, please use the restroom before we leave.
• We should return around 5:30-6 p.m.
• Pack a lunch! We'll let everyone know when to eat, but you'll need to eat breakfast and a light lunch before your race. Of course, bring water as well.
• Bring money for food afterward! We're planning on stopping somewhere for a later lunch on the way home.
• The meet will be held at Fortress Obetz and Memorial Park
• Weather looks good! Right now it looks like it will partly cloudy, 54 degrees. Still, dress in layers.
• Information for this meet can be found here: MEET INFO
• Parents, if you're attending get there early! I talked with a parent from another team whose daughter attended this meet, and she said her advice to parents is to get there early. She also said the finish is a bit of a mess for spectators (the runners finish inside a stadium), so if you want to see the finish get into the stadium early and be aware of the crowds. 
• All Boys run at 11:10 a.m.
• All Girls run at 12:55 p.m.
