Phoenix,
Our first official week of the season is down, and if it's any indication of how quickly the season will go, then we are basically done already.
When you start looking at our schedule, you realize that we are nearly to spring break. After spring break, we are nearly to region. Once it's region and state, the season is about done.
The point is, there is no time to waste. Capitalize on every day. Attend practice every day. Be prepared to sacrifice for the good of the team, and bring a positive attitude.
I for one have had a blast during the first week. After practice people keep asking me, what are you on? (The answer to that is nothing but water and yerba mate baby) but because I just had a lot of fun working with you guys, I may be more prone to bust out the slickback that Tom taught me (not Addy, DEFINITELY not Hogge (pronounced Hoe-g, not Hoagie, but I say Hoagie because it's tuff).
Anyway, let's enjoy every day, because there aren't enough days remaining of the season to squander any.
This week
We are officially moving our 400s and a Field Day from today, Monday, to Wednesday, on account of the field conditions. We will practice as usual every day this week, with Wednesday being our time trial/field trial day.
Next Week
We will be hosting our first next Wednesday, 3/11, with Layton and Weber. Each athlete will have a job. All meets that we host, athletes are expected to come out at the designated time (this meet, 1:45) to scan in, compete, and complete their jobs. We will then scan out at the end of the meet. Everyone stays the entire meet to help with clean up, with exceptions only for those who have a school thing (like a play or concert they are in). Otherwise, everyone is there the entire time. As my old man likes to say, "many hands make light work."
Prepare yourselves for that, everyone stays the entire time. And in the case of next week, EVERYONE RUNS THE 4X400. We're going to have like 25 teams for that relay and it's going to be soooo sick.
Registration
You will not be able to compete in that meet unless you have completed registration on register my athlete (and if you don't know what that is yet, scroll down on this website and check it out, because I haven't the heart to explain it even on more time.
Uniforms
If you don't have a uniform yet, we'll hand those out on Tuesday or Thursday this week at the beginning of practice.
