2016 Middle School Track Information

Wanted to post some preliminary information for families who may be joining us for the first time this season. First of all, everyone makes it - no tryouts :) We will begin on Tuesday, January 19th. Practice goes from 3:15-4:30 for middle school. Typically we practice every day, however, if there is a change for any given week I will email it to all families in advance. The first MS meet is on Tuesday, February 16th @ Keswick. There are three more regular season meets (the next 3 Tuesdays) and then the season ends with a Championship meet for the top athletes in each event - typically the 8th graders, but there are often several 6th and 7th graders who make it too. During the first few weeks the coaches will work with the kids and help them determine which events they will try. Once they figure that out, you can get a better idea of when she will be participating in the meets. The meets tend to be quite long, but there are only 4 so it's doable. Once we have the list of kids who sign up for track, I will send out a detailed power point to all families to explain how everything works. Hope that helps! See you soon. amy

My apologies if you are receiving this message for the 2nd time - last night I sent it to the 2015Track group, not the 2015XC group! I did forget to mention one important thing, however. Spirit Night is this Sunday 8/23 4-6PM. The Booster Club is still looking for volunteers for this event. Please contact Erin Ross if you would be willing to help out - erinmimi@gmail.com




Hi all. Hopefully you have had the opportunity to view our Parent meeting on the blog (http://shorecrestvarsitycrosscountry.blogspot.com/). Feel free to contact me with any questions or if you need clarification on any items. Just a few quick notes as an addendum to the meeting . . .

Thank you to Amy Herlihy (JV) and Janet Peterson (Varsity) for volunteering to serve as team parents this season! They will be contacting you soon with information regarding the season.
Thank you to the Samuelson Family for hosting our season kick-off this Friday! Please contact Elizabeth directly if you would like to her with this event. end96@yahoo.com
Our team service project this season will be helping out with the Guardian ad Litem SuperHero 5K race on September 26th @ War Veteran's Memorial Park - 9600 Bay Pines Blvd. Many more details to come. (The Varsity boys will have an alternative service opportunity)
After school practice begins tomorrow - 3:15-4:45 for Middle School, 3:40-5:00 for High School. Please make sure that your children are hydrating and are aware that the afternoon heat is going to make running significantly more strenuous than it has been up to this point. It is so important that they are taking good care of themselves and listening to their bodies as we make this transition. Please encourage them to speak freely with any of the coaches if they are not feeling well at practice.
Looking forward to an amazing season! Thanks for being part of it :)
