Team 101: September 1st-7th

Weekly Training Schedule (All Dates, Locations and Times Subject to Change):

Note: Bad weather does not cancel practice, it will be moved to another area. This training schedule is for the boys; girls practice may differ.

September 1st-7th

Monday- Jefferson Playground
Tuesday- John Curtis
Wednesday- John Curtis XC Season Opener (City Park)
Thursday- Jefferson Playground (Boys A.M. weight room)
Friday- John Curtis
Saturday- Bayou Boogie (Boys) or STA (Girls)
Sunday- On Your Own

Meet Information:

Wednesdays meet will take place in City Park off of Harrison Avenue past the traffic circle.   Please familiarize yourself with the layout of the park ahead of time so that you can more readily find the course. We are asking all the athletes to find a ride after school and arrive at 4:30 (or earlier) to the meet.  The meet will start at 4:45 and the varsity races will start at 5:40 for girls and 6:05 for boys. Awards are at 6:30

On Saturday the team will be split.  The boys will head to Highland Road Park in Baton Rouge for the Bayou Boogie meet and the girls will head to St. Thomas Aquinas in Hammond.  The coaches will tell the athletes at practice this week what time to arrive at school.

Weekly Notes:

Reminder that we do not have school on Monday, September 1st but we will have an evening practice that day to accommodate those who went out of town for the weekend/saw family during the day.

Now that school is officially in session, remember to reach out and find new students to come join our team.  The long term success of the program is dependent on getting our numbers up!

Lapathon is coming up on September 24th so remember it is time to start looking for sponsors.  Fundraising is a major part of how we are able to attend as many meets as we do, so do your part and then some!

Recent Events:

Our 1.5 mile time trial this past saturday was a huge boost of confidence for both teams heading into the season.  Great job guys!

Meet Information:

NEW UPDATE 8/18:  There was confusion with the STA date because of two different dates given to us by their staff.  We are making last minute arrangements for the boys to run on Thursday.

The girls team will not compete this week, but instead will do a time trial on Wednesday at practice.

For boys athletes competing on Thursday: we will travel to STA in Hammond for a 2 mile time trial practice on their course.  This is a chance for us to get to remember the layout of the course for later meets and shoot for a good time.  The race goes off around 5 PM.  We will meet at John Curtis at 2:30 PM on Thursday.

Weekly Notes:

Note: Once school begins, the weekly schedule will only completely reflect the boys training as the girls may practice in a different location on occasion.  Please check with the athletes on individual days to have up to date location info.

We are now considered to be in season for the scholastic year.  You must attend all practices and assume we will either have a race or a meet every Saturday morning until the season has completed.  If anything changes I will let you know.

Reminder that storm season is currently here.  It is imperative that parents, athletes, and coaches stay in contact in the case of emergency.  If you have recently changed your number please let the coaches know as contacting each other during the week of a storm is vital to pass information.

Recent Events:

This past weeks team camp was the best ever and the Curtis boys and girls teams, each looking to improve on their placings at last year's meets, planned their goals and got some good training in.  Thanks to Ethan Weaver's, Matt Perniciaro's, and Brady Mitchell's parents for providing us with food and snacks to supplement the trip.  This along with our 3 mile time trial was the kickstart the season really needed.
