Projection
On paper we are not projected to win the region meet, for the girls or boys, so it's a good thing these races aren't done on paper. We have a plan, and if we are able to execute the plan then we will have a chance at winning both races. It's going to take all of us, the 10 in the varsity races, and the other 80+ of us at the meet.
JV runners, we are asking you to set the tone for the meet right off the bat. Show the varsity runners that it is a great day. Run uninhibited and show of your fitness that you have earned over the past weeks, months, and years. We then are going to ask you to spread out around the course to support the varsity teams. We'll fill you in on the race plan, so you can give feedback about where the racers need to be relative to the field if we are going to be in a winning position.
Varsity runners, get out and cheer on the JV runners in their races, and build off of their momentum. Rely on your teammates' support, both your fellow racers and those on the side cheering you on, and then execute the race plan.
More than anything, let's put our best foot forward and leave it all out their on the course.
NXR
It is time to start to nail down our plans for NXR. I have the hotel rooms booked (but can drop some if needed) and now I need to lock in the buses. Before I can do that, I need to know who is still planning on coming. Even if you filled out the previous form, I need you to fill out this one if you still want to go. If you no longer want/are able to, please indicate 'no' on the form.
NXR FORM (same as the link in the paragraph before)
Last year the cost was about $350, but this year the price of hotels and transportation has gone up. It will likely be closer to $425. That cost could go up if we don't fill the buses, or it could drop if we do fill them. (The cost of the buses alone increased by over 30%).
We have over 80 kids who expressed interest in the original survey, and I don't want to leave 30+ kids home by taking only 1 bus. I want the whole team to come if they want to. We could bring as many as 96 kids in total (the buses hold 52, so that would be with coaches and chaperones).
We will be staying at Courtyard by Marriott Phoenix Chandler/Fashion Center.
