Hahaha I am very sorry about that everyone. THE MEET IS NOT AT WEST ALBANY HIGH SCHOOL, IT WILL BE HELD AT SOUTH ALBANY HIGH SCHOOL. I definitely meant to put that into the last email, but it has been an extremely long and hectic day of working with hundreds of children! So just to reiterate, the meet will be at SOUTH ALBANY HIGH SCHOOL and will start at 10AM. If anything changes once I receive a meet schedule I will let you all know ASAP. Thank you for bringing to my attention the fact that I told where the meet will not be and not where it will be.

Hey everyone!

Hey there everyone!

Well our first meet has come and gone! The kids did absolutely AMAZING! I am so proud of each and every one of their performances in Sweet Home. Now we have our home meet this Saturday, time to focus on our events and getting ready for that.

First IMPORTANT Announcement:
The Linus Pauling track will not be available for our team to use at practice tomorrow! We will be practicing at the same time from 5:30pm - 7pm, but we will be practicing at the Cheldelin Middle School track, not LP, Cheldelin. I am sorry if this inconveniences anyone, but this will be happening during tomorrow's, 4/17, practice only. Thanks for understanding and I will see everyone at Cheldelin tomorrow!

Second IMPORTANT Announcement:
We will be taking team pictures during our practice this Thursday, 4/19. This will be at Linus Pauling's track like normal practices at the normal time, 5:30pm - 7pm. I would like to have as many of our team members there as possible. If you cannot make, I am sorry but this is the only time we could get the pictures done. Please have team members bring their red track shirts and track sweatshirts for these pictures. We want to look as uniform as possible. Practice will continue to run normally after pictures have been taken. Thanks!

THIRD AND FINAL ANNOUNCEMENT! MOST IMPORTANT!

Hey all!
For those of you that will be checking emails in the morning.... Our first track meet is today and I am super excited. The meet is at Sweet Home High School. The address is 1641 Long Street, Sweet Home, OR 97386. Please try to have the kids there by 10am. The meet begins at 10:30am. The softball throw and long jump will operate as "Open Pit," from 10:30am - 12:15pm. This means athletes of all grades can and must take there 3 attempts anytime between 10:30am and 12:15pm. All pits close promptly at 12:15pm. High Jump schedule will run as follows: 3rd graders from 10:30am - 11:15pm, 4th grade from 11:15am - 12:00pm, and 5th grade from 12:00pm - 12:45pm. Running events will begin at 10:30am on a rolling schedule. The running events will be in the following order: 2nd grade 50m dash, 400m dash - 2nd grade first, 3rd second, 4th third, and then fifth, 100m dash - same as 100m dash, 800m - 5th grade only (usually there is quite a bit of leniency at these meets and will allow other grades to compete), 200m dash - same as 400m dash, and then all grades for the 4x100m relays. 

I am very much looking forward to seeing how all of the kids do tomorrow and having tons of fun with all of our athletes. It will be a great day of track and field! See you all in the morning!
