Here are the crucial details: Meet will still be at Hinkley HS. The meet will start at 3:00. The bus will leave CHS at 1:30, and the athletes will be dismissed from class at 1:00. All athletes are responsible for getting any work that they will miss.
No wind or rain is forecast, unlike this Saturday where it was thought to be rainy all day, with potential snow in the afternoon. I have to say I am glad with the postponement. In years past, where going to State was determined by place at the championship meet, this year, it is determined by time. We need to have the most ideal conditions possible for athletes to be able to achieve those times. If we need to wait a few days for better conditions, then we should wait a few days.
Instead of the meet tomorrow, the varsity distance kids will have practice. We will meet at Sierra, on the back XC loop at 8:30. I want to practice early to avoid any late day precipitation. We will be doing intervals on the XC trail, bring your training shoes, water, extra clothes, etc. This is a mandatory practice for the distance kids, and it is a crucial practice, as it sets us up very well for the next few weeks.
Even though the final JV meet is today, all JV athletes are encouraged to continue attending practice. We do have a scrimmage with LHS next Saturday, and JV kids are eligible for that along with varsity kids. Running is a year long activity, in order to be really good at it, you need to be dedicated to it year-round. I hope to see lots of JV kids at practice after school next week.
If any more details are forthcoming, they will be posted here as soon as I get them.
