THANK YOU to everyone who helped out with the Phoenix 5k yesterday. It was a big success and that was only made possible to all of you guys who got prizes, sponsors, and helped set up/take down and run the meet. I would say with it being our first year it went pretty awesome. So thank you to everyone who helped (athletes and parents).
This week is our first race (Friday) so we have another busy week coming up. Please make sure you are eating well, sleeping, hydrating, stretching, logging run on Strava and coming to practice. All the little things make a big difference so don't neglect to do them just because they are small. Having said that, here is the schedule for the week (please pay attention to the times as we will be meeting at different times than usual):
Monday August 13th: Time Trials @ 7 PM @ Farmington High School - We will have a brief parent meeting at 7 pm. Following the parent meeting we will do a 2 mile race on the track. Girls will go first, then the boys. This race will determine our varsity for our first meet. Families are welcome to come and watch. Following the conclusion of our time trials we will watch a movie on the track on a projector (bring a camping chair to sit in if you'd like to avoid sitting on the track). We will also be doing a pot luck treat night so if you want to help bring a snack/fruit/veggie tray or whatever feel free to do so. Thanks!
Tuesday August 14th: 4 PM @ Forbush Park (Across from Farmington Jr)
Wednesday August 15th: 4 PM @ Nicholls Park (Castle Park in Kaysville/Fruit Heights)
Thursday August 16th: 3 PM @ Heritage Park (North of Maverik)

Thanks again for all you guys do. We are going to have a blast this season and turn some heads while doing it. I know I have been harping on eligibility but if you want to race this Friday I need all of your eligibility stuff by tomorrow night so I can get you cleared to race Friday. Our uniforms should be in early this week so we will be passing those out probably Wednesday or Thursday (for those who are eligible and have paid for their uniform).
Last thing, we still have some openings for help with team dinners so if you are interested in helping out. Click THIS LINK to sign up for a day to help out. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this please contact Marcia Mitchell: (801) 455-8478 marciammitchell@gmail.com
Thanks!
Let's have a GREAT week Phoenix Nation!!
