Phoenix,
We don't have much of an update this week. The most important information is that our next official race is at Region on 10/9. We have a few weeks of training we can get in before that date, and it's going to be amazing.

As has been shared, we simply do not have enough space for everyone on our bus. If your attendance is below a certain number, it is likely that you won't be able to attend. That said, Davis has offered to accommodate a few of our athletes who may wish to travel with them. That is still tbd.
I have sent an email to those athletes who are on the bubble. I consider that a "waitlist." In the next few days I'm going to send out a list of athletes who have been tentatively approved to attend. That list will also include the cost of the trip, and the way to venmo the parent who will be spearheading the financial side of the trip. Those athletes who do not send payment in before the deadline (tbd, but likely the end of this week or the beginning of next week), will be moved to the waitlist, and someone from the waitlist will be bumped up. I cannot delay in receiving payment, as we need to send payments to the busing company and the hotel very soon, and I'm not going to have the parent float that money. We also have to have a rooming list sent to the hotel early next week. Therefore, we are in crunch time. If you have any questions, please let me know.
A delay in payment will be considered a lack of interest in attending the trip, hence we will move someone into that spot who is willing to make the payment. However, in extenuating circumstance, and with prompt communication, we may be able to make short term exceptions.
This week
