Meet Information:

There is no meet this week, but the following week we will have the AAU Club Championships at DisneyWorld.

Weekly Notes:

On July 16th Curtis athletes will have the opportunity to get a physical done at school for $10.  Ask coach Preston for more info.

There is still some shirts and singlets available for purchase.  Mostly size smalls are available.  Just speak to coach Chaz about it at practice.

Recent Events:

We missed a lot of practice this week due to weather and that is further compounded with the beak coming up.  Make sure you are getting in some training on your own so you don't lose a good deal of fitness.

Weather Outlook:

Harahan 10-Day Forecast.  If it is raining around workout time, I will be updating changes in practice schedule on twitter which will automatically load onto the right side of this page.  You can check for updates there.  Please do not call or text several hours before practice even begins.  The weather around here changes swiftly and there is no way to tell what it will look like around practice time.  Between 30-40 minutes before practice I will tweet if practice is changing locations, but I will not tweet if it remains the same.  If practice location changes, 99% of the time it will change to John Curtis High School which is located on Jefferson Highway in River Ridge.

Upcoming Events (Subject to Change):

July 4th-7th: Summer Break #2

July 6th-13th:  AAU Club Championship (Disneyworld Wide World of Sports)

Meet Information:

Our race on Friday will be for every runner on the team.  It is not an AAU or USATF competition, it is a track meet for everyone.  The race will begin for 7 PM so we will meet one hour prior.  The race will be held at St. Martins High School in Metairie.  Once again, even to my runners just training this summer, this is a race you will be running.

Weekly Notes:

Signup for the AAU Club Championships in Orlando will happen this week.  Please let coach Chaz know as soon as possible of your intentions to go or not to go to the meet that week.  We will have practice as normal with Coach Preson, Howie, and Fernando on those day.

There is still some shirts and singlets available for purchase.  Mostly size smalls are available.  Just speak to coach Chaz about it at practice.

Recent Events:

We had a great turnout to both the 2 mile race Wednesday at City Park and the time trial on Saturday.  Remember, it is extremely hot this time of year and you most likely will not be coming away with personal bests, but we still aim to push ourselves and run the best times possible.

Also, this weekend, a few of our runners competed in the USATF race in McComb and I will update this when I know their times and places.

Signup for the AAU Club Championships in Orlando will happen shortly.  Please let coach Chaz know as soon as possible of your intentions to go or not to go to the meet that week.  We will have practice as normal with Coach Preston, Howie, and Fernando on those day.  Also, reminder that travel and hotel plans are the responsibility of the athlete and his parents.  There is no team bus or team hotel.

There is still some shirts and singlets available for purchase.  Mostly size smalls are available.  Just speak to coach Chaz about it at practice.

Recent Events:

This weekend we participated in the AAU Region 11 National Qualifier which allows athletes to qualify for the JR Olympics.  We had some great performances I will post a link to the official results when they are posted online.

The team also participated in the New Balance Outdoor National Championship in Greensboro, NC.  This is an event we are trying to aim for our 7th grade distance runners and above, as well as high school age athletes in the other event, to qualify for each year. The meet showcases many of the top track and field athletes in the country.  This year Devyn Keith finished as a medallist in the 2 mile in the Emerging Elite section to go along with an 8th place finish in the Emerging Elite mile.  In the Junior High mile race, Zachery Barthel and Denton Young both represented the squad well with two personal records and a near medalling for Barthel.

Meet Information:

The AAU National Qualifier will be hosted at Covington High School, same as the meet two weeks ago.  Meet information and schedule can be found here.  Address and directions can be found by googling Covington High School LA.  Also, for those running multi days, please do not discard your number.  You will have to repurchase a bib number if you do so.  More information on this meet and others later in the year can be found at the Southern AAU regional page.  Please arrive at least 30 minutes before the beginning of your event.  For parents that are new to track and field, our sport is unique in that the schedule follows a flowing format.  As soon as one event ends, the next begins.  There are no official start times for any running event other than the first one.  Field events may all have specific start times, but this is not true for every meet. Therefore, be advised against leaving track meets or trying to plan the time between events.  It is not an exact science!  Also, if ever there is a meet that an athlete will not be attending, please alert coach Chaz beforehand, preferably as soon as you know.

Weekly Notes:

Wednesday afternoon Coach Preston and Coach Chaz will be taking several John Curtis athletes to compete at the New Balance National Championship in North Carolina and won't be back till Sunday.  Therefore, practice on next Wednesday will be in the morning for Curtis athletes, although the rest of the team will still practice Wednesday evening.  Monday and Tuesday practice will go on as normal.  Next Thursday practice will be a short practice with coach Howie and coach Fernando.  Beginning next Friday is the AAU National Qualifier at Covington High School.

There is still some shirts and singlets available for purchase.  Mostly size smalls are available.  Just speak to coach Chaz about it at practice.

Recent Events:

The meet this weekend went awesome! We had plenty of new PRs, a 4x8 meet record in the mens 17-18 year old division, and over a dozen medallists!  Our team braved the extreme heat, and represented our team very well.  Our boys finished as one of the top teams in the competition.

Weather Outlook:

Harahan 10-Day Forecast.  If it is raining around workout time, I will be updating changes in practice schedule on twitter which will automatically load onto the right side of this page.  You can check for updates there.  Please do not call or text several hours before practice even begins.  The weather around here changes swiftly and there is no way to tell what it will look like around practice time.  Between 30-40 minutes before practice I will tweet if practice is changing locations, but I will not tweet if it remains the same.  If practice location changes, 99% of the time it will change to John Curtis High School which is located on Jefferson Highway in River Ridge.

Weather Outlook:

Harahan 10-Day Forecast.  The major rain of last week looks to be gone, but we may still get a decent bit this week.  If it is raining around workout time, I will be updating changes in practice schedule on twitter which will automatically load onto the right side of this page.  You can check for updates there.  Please do not call or text several hours before practice even begins.  The weather around here changes swiftly and there is no way to tell what it will look like around practice time.  Between 30-40 minutes before practice I will tweet if practice is changing locations, but I will not tweet if it remains the same.  If practice location changes, 99% of the time it will change to John Curtis High School which is located on Jefferson Highway in River Ridge.

Meet Information:

This weekends meet is the Governors Games and will take place at City Park in New Orleans at Tad Gormley Stadium. We will meet there.  Please note the schedule I have linked in order to determine what time you will compete! Also, for those running both Saturday and Sunday, please do not discard your number.  You will have to repurchase a bib number if you do so.  More information on this meet and others later in the year can be found at the Southern AAU regional page.  Please arrive at least 30 minutes before the beginning of your event.  For parents that are new to track and field, our sport is unique in that the schedule follows a flowing format.  As soon as one event ends, the next begins.  There are no official start times for any running event other than the first one.  Field events may all have specific start times, but this is not true for every meet. Therefore, be advised against leaving track meets or trying to plan the time between events.  It is not an exact science!  Also, if ever there is a meet that an athlete will not be attending, please alert coach Chaz beforehand, preferably as soon as you know.

Weekly Notes:

There is still some clothing items available for purchase.  Just speak to coach Chaz about it at practice.

I want to remind parents and athletes that the NOTC 2 Mile race originally scheduled for Wednesday has been rescheduled to a normal practice at Jefferson playground.  Coach Chaz has jury duty and is unsure what time he will be available to meet for practice, but practice will still go on.  Another coach or a parent will give out the team workout should he not be back yet.

Also, looking towards next week, our schedule will be a bit crazy.  Wednesday afternoon Coach Preston and Coach Chaz will be taking several John Curtis athletes to compete at the New Balance National Championship in North Carolina and won't be back till early Sunday morning.  Therefore, practice on next Wednesday will be in the morning.  Monday and Tuesday practice will go on as normal.  Next Thursday practice will be a short practice with coach Howie and coach Fernando.  Beginning next Friday is the AAU National Qualifier at Covington High School.

Recent Events:

This weekends meet in Covington was unfortunately disturbed by much rain, wind and lightning, but several athletes still were able to compete in the 3000 meter run, several clocking personal records.  Zachary Barthel and Trey Stewart competed in Lafayette also fared well, both winning their events and one coming away with a new PR in the 800.
