MEET NOTES :
No runner can compete in more than 14 meets per season in any combination..var/jv We still are trying to add at least 2-3 meets as the weather/schools get back to us. Last yr we used 2 varsity meets (Benson and Redwood) for almost all JV With the meets we now have scheduled for sure, every “top” runner will compete in at least 11varsity meets with possibility of 14…… Every JV/runner not in our top group (and we don’t know who that is yet) will compete in at least 5 varsity meets (unlimited entries), 2 JV meets, and move back and forth for some others. At least one or more of those we add will have unlimited events MEETS ARE REQUIRED (as are practices). In some situations, we excuse runners for other activities but that is rare. Other meet and practice guidelines will be in handouts at the team meeting and posted on our school website.
We will update on the school web page, bulletin board area, and practices as we find out more info.
We will discuss and set up things concerning Spring Break and prom weekend as that approaches.
Lets get ready for a GREAT SEASON IN 2016!!!!!!!!
