Team 101: December 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.

Monday- John Curtis
Tuesday- John Curtis
Wednesday- Jefferson Playground (7:25 A.M. Weights- Boys Varsity)
Thursday- Jefferson Playground
Friday- John Curtis
Saturday- TBD
Sunday- On Your Own

Meet Information:

No meet.

Weekly Notes:

The varsity boys will begin their weights A.M. on Wednesday, not Monday.

A heads up for the Christmas holiday: those expecting to run indoor will be expected to practice over the break.  If you are going out of town alert the coaches as soon as possible so they can come up with a strategy to get the training necessary to win another state title in during that time.

A further reminder that the state Indoor championship is the weekend immediately following Mardi Gras.  For those expecting to represent the team at that meet, please do not plan on going on any trips (such as the ski trips many churches take at this time) because missing practice, plus the chance of injury or sickness, will hamper the team's ability to perform.

Recent Events:

The track team held our first Thanksgiving sale as a fundraiser for the team in preparation for the indoor season!  Considering it was the first year, selling a couple dozen turkeys was a big success.  If you have any ideas for fundraisers in the future, let the coaches know!
