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.
• We will be updating some end-of-season items:
• We'll be emailing athletes updates of season times
• Updated TEAM records and INDIVIDUAL records will be done soon
• Once completed, we're going to post the records at Learwood
• Please turn in uniforms to Coach Marlow's classroom. Please wash your uniform and turn it into Coach Marlow. 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 until after the holidays! We'll be meeting as a distance team prior to Winter Break, and we'll start pre-season training in January. 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 those 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'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.

SWC REMINDERS

Here are some reminders for tomorrow: 

SWC NOTES

END OF SEASON VIDEO

And here's our team video. Thanks to all the parents who took videos and to Mrs. Walters for putting it together!

SWC WEEK

SWC WEEK:

• Please check Coach Rocco’s room for any missing items! At the end of our season we’re going to place all missing items in Learwood’s Lost & Found. Anything not claimed at year’s end will be donated to charity.
• Parents, while this final race is centrally located, make sure to remind kids to stick together!
• Time to get some rest! Eat healthy, drink a lot of water, stock up on sleep (9 hours, 15 minutes a night), and STRETCH before bed! Avoid soda, junk food, and limit sweets to one dessert a day! 
• Parents: we've been very accommodating with the athletes' sports schedules this season...we are going to ask that those other sports be accommodating with us this week. We are tapering this week, and we need the kids to REST! We've been pushing them these last few weeks, and I know a lot of them are participating in multiple sports. We want them to peak at the right time, and that means they've got to rest this whole week. If you could adjust their sports' schedules this week, we would really appreciate it! 
• Our End-of-Season Team Recognition will be held on Monday, October 20th. More information will be forthcoming!
