Athlete planner: Mar 18-23

Last week was a pretty good week across the board. Lots of athletes giving great effort in practice and competition, an excellent hill workout on Monday, a huge team dinner on Wednesday orchestrated by some very generous parents, excellent preliminary results for our fundraisers, and proof that we have some athletes showing great signs of improvement. Lots of things to be proud of, but what will stick with me will be the athletes that competed for CV at the varsity level for the first time, namely Elias Jackson, Chris Linnin, Ryan Sanders, Julie Mackin, Kelly Winn, Kameron Granger, Bradley Salesberry, Shelby Quint, Christian Mueller, Kaylee Mangus, Collin McKee, Zach Tidwell, Savannah Dalton, Emma McLaughlin, and Katie Wong.

This week coming up is the biggest meet of the year, and we are still looking for plenty of help. Parents, pay attention to your emails for messages coming from myself, other coaches, or our team parent, Brenda Wheeler, for ways you can help. All athletes, plan to be at Sports Authority Stadium to help with running the invite. If you do not compete you are eligible for community service, and a lot of it.

Reminders and Recommendation
-A small collection of athletes have yet to complete their fundraising. Please do.
-JV and Varsity meets can be really long so come prepared. Bring food, water, layers of clothes, and sunblock.
-CV athletic director Derek Cordes reminded me in no uncertain terms that male athletes are to wear shirts, and female athletes more than just sports bras at practice
-Varsity athletes: If you are on a relay, all members of team must have matching uniforms. That includes undergarments like compression shorts (must be same color)
-All undergarments must be one color
-You cannot have electronic devices on the infield or any area of competition
-Filming- you can film an athlete during competition, but no coach or athlete can view the film until after the competition.
-Jewelry must be removed prior to competition
-Parents should remain in the stands during meets, the reasons are numerous, but mainly because it is a mess when parents come down to track level

That's all for now.
