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.

Reminder that all runners in 11th and 12th grades need to sign up for the September 13th ACT date.  Last day to sign up before late registration is August 8th.

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:

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.
