New Shoes!

The turn-out last night at Runner's Roost was fantastic! We had lots of kids show up, get hooked up with lots of new fast training shoes and racing shoes, and even the coaches got new shoes. (It was so strange seeing Wojan and Whitenack trying on shoes next to each other. One was a size 15, the other, a size 5! Guess who was who!) I also got some new shoes, not really for running, but for standing around, writing down times, and other miscellaneous coaching activites. Here they are:
The Pearl Izumi Seek III WRX. It's very comfortable, black, and water resistant. Perfect for coaching! Pretty slick, huh?

In other news, today is the day your choices for events at the scrimmage are due. Here is a schedule of events, remember, this is just a scrimmage, so there will be LOTS of teams there, with LOTS of kids particiapting. Patience will be a must.

10:00 Start time (Be at CHS at 8:15 though)
4 x 800
60H
1600
4 x 100
400
200H
800
200
3200
4 x 400

The field events also start at 10, and they will be on a rolling schedule, with the order of them determined by the coaches on Saturday.

So, look over this schedule, get with your individual discipline coach, and sign up for many events. If you are not going to the scrimmage on Saturday, then you will have a chance to run Friday the 6th at the JV meet.

The most important note I have today is that picture day is THIS FRIDAY!!! Picture packets will be handed out today, and the individual and team pictures are two days from now. For the team picture, all of the athletes must be wearing their blue sweat tops and blue sweat bottoms that were given to you when you turned in your gold card. If you do not have them, we will continue distributing them today.

Do not forget, (we will remind you constantly), to wear your sweats on Friday, as that is our team uniform and we wear our team uniform in our team pictures.

Thanks for reading, see you all this afternoon at the last Spenst Hill day of the season!
