Hello Bantam parents!! I hope you and your athletes had a wonderful spring break. Here is some information as we finish out our season (it seemed to happen SO fast for me!):
- Due to a home meet at Buena, there is NO PRACTICE this Wednesday, April 10th
- Athletes will need to sign up for this weekend’s events on Monday (or Tuesday if they are going to specialty practice)
- Our meet this weekend (4/13) is at Camarillo High School. The 7:45 arrival time is the same as our usual. Especially for 4×100 runners.
A big thank you to all the athletes and parents who braved the rain and got EVERY athlete to Moorpark on time and ready to go!!
Our season is moving along quickly, and there are only 2 regular season meets (4/13 and 4/20) left before we move into the championship season:
- The JV Meet on 4/27 (this meet is open to all athletes),
- Varsity on 5/4 (athletes must qualify during our regular season)
- Super Varsity on 5/11 (athletes qualify through the Varsity Meet).
Most of our athletes’ last meet will be on 4/27.
To qualify for the Varsity Meet on May 4th, an athlete needs to be in the Top 9 for the 100, 200, 400, and field events and in the Top 12 for the 800, 1600, and 3200. Their placement after the last meet is finished on April 20th will determine their Varsity status. This is the top for the entire VCYTC League, and therefore making the Varsity meet is a HUGE accomplishment!
We would like to see as many of our athletes qualify as possible, so please take a look at the Top 20 lists (below) and see where the best opportunities for each athlete may lie. If qualifying for the Championship meet is a goal of theirs, athletes may want to narrow down their focus when choosing events to compete in over the next 2 meets.
We will also take top relay teams for the 4×100 and 4×400.
Please note that the above lists will change after the results from this weekend’s meet become finalized on athletic.net and will continue to change as the season progresses.
I know there will be many questions, especially for new Tigres families, so please do not hesitate to reach out.
Warmly, Coach Ellie
