For the relay race, meet at Jefferson Playground at 8:30.  Races will either be a DMR or 4x8.  Teams will be determined Saturday morning.

Weekly Notes:

Note to Curtis Athletes:  I've had some issues in the past few weeks with missing practice for work.  I thought it went without saying, but I will now make it a rule:  you need to only work jobs that do not require you to work at night.  You have all day to work, please use that time.  It is unacceptable to miss practice for this reason.  Please be respectful that the coaches have arranged their work schedules to be with you in the evenings, you should as well.

All shirts are now on sale for $10.  First come first served.  Sizes are limited.

Curtis athletes should make sure they have their physicals finished, school registration completed, and their money paid to coach Preston for team camp before we head to Baton Rouge.  $30 for girls, $40 for boys.  This is for 7th graders and above, all Curtis runners are required to attend.

Reminder that all runners in 11th and 12th grades need to sign up for the September 13th ACT date.

The schedule now includes fall cross country tentative dates.  All are subject to change but you can get an idea of when and where we plan on racing.

Recent Events:

This weekend we participated in our last regular season AAU meet of the season at Covington HS and we came away with several personal records and several first place finishes.  Despite the rain then the heat, the team finished the year strong.  I'm very proud of how every trained and raced and represented the program this summer.  Thanks again guys!

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.
