Hi Guys! We are at our last conference meet coming up this Saturday against Newbury Park at NPHS. This is especially important for those who are chasing the Golden and Platinum Batons. Those are for athletes who compete in 10 and 12 events respectively. If your child is missing an event that they haven’t done, then this is the last time to do it.
In addition, it is important for our post-season races. We will have two meets left after Saturday’s meet. We host the league finals West on May 3rd, where six teams will be competing on the same day. This meet is only for non-Varsity competitors. However, one can only compete in events that which they participated in during the regular season. If they want to run a particular race or do a field event that they haven’t done yet, then they will need to make sure that they sign up for it for this Saturday’s meet in Newbury Park.
On May 10th we will return to Newbury Park for those that qualified for Varsity competition at our conference championship. There are certain rules for this that we will be monitoring as soon as the names of the qualifiers come out over the weekend or early next week. Stay tuned for them as they will affect the JV Finals too.
As of this writing I still have 19 kids who have yet to sign up for Saturday’s race. Please speak to your children and if they haven’t signed up with me or Coach Kristin this week, then get their desired events and let me know ASAP. Especially if they are interested in the 4x100m relay. The cut-off, as always, is noon Friday, tomorrow.
Other than that, thank you for all of your help all year-long, and I look forward to seeing our athletes this Saturday at the NPHS track on Reino Road at 7:45 AM for the 3200m, hurdlers and 4x100m runners, everyone else by 8:00 AM to collect their event stickers. Thank you!
~Coach Brian
