Phoenix,
A great group of kids/athletes went up to Simplot this past weekend to compete. That meet is always a lot of fun. We had 30 or so kids compete over the 3 days, with 4 individuals in finals: Sahara, 60H; Skye, 1600m; Bode, 400m; Izaac, 800m. We also had two medley relay teams make it, with the boys finishing 4th overall.
That meet is a great opportunity to race on a fast track, spend time with teammates, see some of the countries best athletes, run in relays with sprinters and distance runners together (medley), and get yourself geared up for the start of the outdoor season.
Next year our team goal is to have 50 or more kids compete at Simplot, with at least 12 relay teams (4x200, Medley, 4x400, and 4x800), and get twice as many people and teams to finals. To make that happen I will book hotel rooms well in advance to get the best rate possible, and we will need parents who are willing to join us on the trip to drive kids up, back, and to help shuttle kids to the arena in the morning/evening, and to get meals, etc. The vast majority of the time will be spent at the arena.
Upcoming
This week we will be practicing together on Tuesday-Thursday. Next week we will officially begin our outdoor season on Monday, at which point all of our practices will be mandatory, and we will meet Monday-Friday with rare exception.
During the meeting we will introduce our staff and talk about expectations, volunteers, registration, and the season schedule. I hope to be no more than 30 minutes - with some time for questions for event coaches.
Parent Meeting
We are going to be holding a parent meeting on Monday 2/26 at 6 PM in the little theater at FHS. You can get there easiest by parking in the west lot, going in the doors by the main gym, and taking your first right towards the main office - the little theater is that first room in that hallway, immediately across from the elevator, you can see the room from the main gym doors.
