Lots of info for y'all, please read carefully.
1. I think we had a great weekend at Liberty Bell. We only earned one ribbon, but that was due to a lot of tough competition. We did have lots of new season bests, and I think it was a great meet to propel us into the championship season.
2. This upcoming Sunday, the team is throwing a giant cook out pep rally. From 11:00 am to 1:00 pm, on the football field, we will be having a cookout with burgers, hot dogs, games; the works. This is in place of the end-of-the-year banquet, we think that a pep rally to get psyched for championship season is gonna be more fun than a banquet inside. The track team will provide almost everything, but we are asking for the athletes to bring some deserts. Also, if anyone wants to bring lawn games (bocce, frisbee, kickball), that would be awesome. The overall team awards will be handed out as well, so we hope to see everyone there! Bring siblings, parents, grandparents; it will be fun!
3. Congratulations to the winning ten kilometer relay team. We ran the race yesterday for our fundraiser, and the team of Katrina B, Dane G, JJ Johnson, Tim H, James K, Caleb L, Landon L, Jordan T, Jenna L, Jaylene M, and Kristin S came home with the prize. Congrats! This is a huge fundraiser for our team, and good job to everyone who participated.
4. Freshman/Sophomore Championships are this Thursday at the new Sports Authority stadium, right after school. Bus leaves Chaparral at 1:30, so don't be late coming out of class. I think we have a shot to win some titles in this meet, let's go out there and do it! this meet at starts at 2:30 pm.

5. On Friday night, we are heading back up to All-City Stadium for the second Twilight meet. We are bringing only a select few kids to this meet, in hopes of getting them one more chance for a good mark to qualify for State. Another way we are using this meet is to give kids a chance to compete Saturday with full rest. There is no bus, kids need to get up there on their own, and remember that Friday afternoon traffic heading up to the city is notoriously tough! Make sure to give yourself plenty of time to get to the stadium so you can warm-up without stress.

If you are not competing in the Twilight II Invite, ask you individual discipline coach on where you need to be. For example, I will be at the meet, so I expect all 800 and up distance kids to be at the meet where we can have a practice on the side fields.
6. On Saturday, we have our last invitational of the season. The Cherry Creek Invite, at Cherry Creek HS. Bus leaves early, 6:30 am I believe, as the first field events start off at 7:45. Everyone, unless they communicate with me prior, will be on that bus.
This meet has a funky schedule, to all ow for prelims in some events, and finals in most others. I incorporated the event start times on the entries. It is imperative that athletes stay hydrated, full of good food, and out of the sun. As I mentioned at Monday meeting, this is our last chance to compete for time and time only. In championship meets, the time slows, as athletes are just being strategic and going for the win. Take advantage of this highly competitive meet!
