Thank you to all the parents who attended our meeting yesterday - your support is greatly appreciated! For those of you who were unable to attend, here are the main points we discussed:
• The attached schedule (attached to the email, that is) is the most up to date version. Please note any meets that have a group in parentheses, as only those runners will attend those meets. All other meets will be for the entire team.
• The Middle Division 2 Mile race on Sept. 23rd @ Puryear park will be hosted by the Upper Division runners - all should plan to be in attendance.
• The Varsity Team will consist of our top 7 male and female runners, regardless of their grade level. For our first meet (Sept. 18th) the varsity runners from last season will make up the Varsity Team and any other runners will be notified individually. All others will run the JV race.
• Donations for snacks/drinks for meets can be sent in to Janet Peterson, our team parent. This is being done strictly on a voluntary basis.
• Team T-shirts will be ordered for all team members early next week. Please email me if you DO NOT wish for your child to receive one. The cost will be around $10 and will be billed to your Shorecrest account.
• This year we will travel to Orlando for the Disney meet and return immediately following the races. Parents are welcome to coordinate a sleep over/theme park visit independently.
• Only the Varsity Team will travel to Titusville on October 1st.
• Any runners who wish to drive to meets or ride with other drivers MUST turn in the form from the athletic office prior to our first meet - NO EXCEPTIONS!
• Saturday, Sept. 18th - Runners who wish to ride the bus to Jay B. Starkey Wilderness Park should be at Shorecrest by 6:15AM. Please let us know in advance if we should be on the lookout for your child that morning!
• When leaving a meet, please be sure to sign your child out on the clip board that will be located in our team area.
• Please keep my cell phone number handy should you need to reach us during a meet (727) 420-2333.
Feel free to contact us with any individual concerns or questions. We are looking forward to a great season!
