Conference Championship Track Meet Postponed Until Wed., May 14th

 

Because of the chance of lighting, our meets today has been postponed until Wed.  The forecast for Wed. is partly cloudy with highs in the upper 50'sl; no mention of rain or storms.

Wed. meets can be tough because of religious education.  We have, however, submitted a roster, and have limited slots for each event.  I ask that every effort is made to have your student participate in their events.  If your athlete can't attend the meet please let coaches know as soon as possible.

Thanks to all the students and parents for staying flexible and positive while working with us on what has turned out to be an extraordinary year; we've had a perfect storm of weather and of facilities limitations.

We will have practice today inside today.

Meet Today is Canceled/ Great Job Yesterday










Our meet today is cancelled because of the threat of lightning and because of the chance of severe weather.  On a warm day like today rain alone will not cancel a meet.

Our conference meet will be held next Monday rain or shine so long as there is no dangerous weather.

******

On a more positive note, the students did an outstanding job jumping into our first real meet yesterday with limited track less practices.  We were very proud of their efforts, attitudes and performances.   Great Job!

Updated Meet Schedule (Notice Meets Tomorrow and Thursday) and a Request to Send Rain Gear

We are very pleased with the positive attitude of the students during a strange season without a track and the with added challenges of uncooperative weather.

Please make sure that your athlete has rain gear.  An inexpensive plastic poncho or other rain protection will keep our team comfortable and performing their best.  Rain is forecast and a strong possibility at all of our remaining track meets.
