Phoenix,
I wanted to get this update out to you as early as possible because we have a meet coming up quickly.
Meet Change/Information
The meet on Wednesday at Davis has been moved to Monday, 3/13 @ 3:00, still at Davis.
Because our time trial was cut a bit short, we didn't get to do our 4x400m relays. Therefore, we are going to enter all runners into that event (it'll be fun, don't fret, we'll have a slew of teams running together which will be the highlight of the meet for many of you). Your team will be counting on you being there, so you can't bail. If you're too ill or hurt to do 1 lap on the track, then you shouldn't be competing at all while you rest up and heal.
The event entries for Davis are done at the meet, prior to each event, so you can sign up there for the event rather than needing to declare your interest beforehand. We will assemble 4x400s prior to the meet.
The schedule for the meet will be at the end of this post.
Busing
For the majority of our meets we will have buses, but we weren't able to get one for this meet with the short notice of change, so we will be meeting at Davis at approximately 2:00 - you will need to arrange your own transportation. You will be excused from school at 1:30 PM to get there on time.
Registration
I know you're sick of hearing about it, and I'm tired of talking about it. This needs to be done or you cannot compete on Monday. I know some of you are waiting on your physical documents to be approved online, they will be in the coming days by our AD, and some are waiting on appointments. The state rule that I'm stuck enforcing is that no one can compete without it being complete, so I'll stand by that.
Uniforms
If you have not yet received a uniform, AND you have completed register my athlete, you can come get a uniform on MONDAY AT 1:00 PM (I'll write you a do not mark tardy note, and then have you excused) at 1:30.
TEAM
I've heard it said before in reference to a track team (not necessarily ours) that a team, for example, has 150 kids, but there are about 60 "core" kids who are always there, working hard, and being good teammates. We don't want it to be like that here. If we have 150 kids on the team (and that is about how many we have), then we want 150 kids ready and willing to work day in and day out. If we have that, then we will have a great TEAM and an enjoyable season.
The best way to do that, is to be with the TEAM, and do what the TEAM is doing. That can be warming up together, cooling down together (big one), ab work together, strides together, hurdle drills together, RUNNING A 4X400 TOGETHER, etc. What it isn't is rushing through the workout and leaving early. It isn't doing your own thing or lackadaisically going through the drills without thinking about them or getting to know your teammates, it's not missing practices, or making exceptions for yourself when they are unnecessary.
Parents, however you can, please support and encourage your kids to be a "core" member of our TEAM.
If you have any questions please let me know. See you MONDAY @ Davis High!
