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!
