Phoenix,
It's beginning to look a lot like Track season, and I for one couldn't be happier. I actually ran in shorts and a t shirt for the first time all year and it brought a tear to my eye, which, had it hit the ground, may have been the tipping point causing a few more basements to flood, so I was careful to snuff it out (but seriously, hope all your basements are weathering the groundwater and the runoff so far).
We have a busy week ahead - we are hosting two meets, and we'll need a lot of help to pull it all off. There is a lot of information, so please read it without skimming.
Wednesday - Layton, Weber @ Farmington - 3 PM
On Wednesday we will be hosting Layton and Weber in a small meet at home. I am making a list of jobs for everyone to help with. Those competing will be needed to help in their jobs around their events, but most of the heavy lifting, so to speak, will be done by those not competing on Wednesday. Everyone who doesn't qualify for the Phoenix Invitational on Friday will be competing on Wednesday. You can view the preliminary entries for Friday's invitational
here. Those might change slightly so be aware. If you think your name was omitted in an event in error please let me know.
The Phoenix invite has minimum time standards to get into the meet and total entry numbers, so if you've run the time then you qualify to go, and then it's just a matter of making sure we are below the maximum number of entries. I've included those times at the end of this page. If you run a time on Wednesday that would qualify you for Friday, we might be able to get you in.
Jobs/set up/excusal
You will be excused from 4th period, please come out at 1:20 to help set up.
Everybody is expected to help until final dismissal, at which point you will "scan out" to earn your points for the track class.
I anticipate being done with this meet around 6ish.
Friday - Phoenix Invitational - 2:30 PM
Friday is our biggest meet of the year, it will account for the majority of our fundraising, and it will give kids across the state an awesome meet to compete at, in an great facility, in an outstanding town, with spectacular vistas. As such, our goal is to make sure the meet runs as smoothly as possible, so each athlete and spectator has the best experience possible. Each person will have a job and everybody is expected to help until final dismissal, at which point you will "scan out" to earn your points for the track class. Plan on this meet going after dark, finishing under the stadium lights.
Concessions help
Instead of doing concessions as we did it the other day, we've asked for the Devil's Pit BBQ food truck to come to the meet. He offered to give us a percentage of the sales if we have someone there to help run the card reader/take orders. Parents, if any of you could help, even in short shifts, that would be a huge boost.
Again, if you'd like to volunteer in any capacity you can view things we need
here. (On a side note, I have been fortunate to meet many of you parents, but if you haven't introduced yourself to me in person, and you're at a meet, please stop me to say hi. Sometimes I see people and I'm not sure if they are a parent for our team or another team so I am hesitant to say something. We really appreciate all your help and getting to know you.)
Jobs/set up/excusal
Again, we will scan out at the end once everything is cleaned up and put away.
You will be excused from all of 4th period to help set up, so please come out at 1:05. The meet begins at 2:30, so we will need to hop to it.
Fees
As a reminder, there are fees on your account which need to be paid or you can no longer compete. They are as follows: $20 transportation, $35 school, $35 district, and $5 drug testing. The uniform top is $55 and the bottom is $18 or $20. These uniforms will be yours to use over the years.
If you have any questions please let me know.
