Parents:
- Just a reminder we're meeting at Troy tomorrow (to avoid any traffic jams at Learwood like we experienced Monday)
- We're bringing the water left in the cooler from tonight's team dinner, so kids will have access to cold water tomorrow after their races.
- We have QR codes set up on all three coaches' clipboards (Ferrari, Peepers, and Rocco)
- After both races are completed the three of us will head back to camp (we'll let everyone know where that is but you won't be able to miss our tents this season)
- You can use your phone to take a picture of the QR code, then you'll sign out electronically and we'll get your sign-out submitted onto a Google Spreadsheet
- We would like all athletes to cheer each other on until every Avon Laker has finished, but if that's not feasible tomorrow, Coach Ferrari will be at the finish line for both races
- We will be taking two buses back as well so athletes can always ride the bus back to Troy
- We went over how meets are scored with the team, and they scored their own practice race last week, so your child should be able to explain how it works
- However, here's a pretty good video explaining how it works (certain runners score, other runners work for a potential tie, and other runners 'push back' other team's runners): HOW A CROSS COUNTRY MEET IS SCORED
Athletes:
- Bring two masks!
- Both teams need to come up with a team chant this season, so make sure this is done prior to getting to the start line
- Get some rest, try not to get too nervous for the first race! But if you are nervous, just remember the feeling of accomplishment, pride, and camaraderie you'll have after your race will dwarf any nervous feelings you'll have before the race. It will be worth it.
- See you all tomorrow morning!
