Week of January 4

Hi all!  Happy New Year!!

There are many points to review in this email, so I'll get to it.

1.  Please welcome to our new Coach Heather Bailes to the program.  She has coached volleyball previously at SJA and has a background in jumps and hurdles.  She and Coach Williams will cover all aspects of sprints for indoors.  I will have mid-distance and distance both indoors and out.

2.  Check our meet schedule on the team website - www.sjatrackandfield.blogspot.com.  Look at the top for the tab "indoor track and field schedule 2016"

3.  There is a meet this Saturday at Oberlin...a schedule will come out soon for this, but sprinters can expect to run the 55m dash and the distance can expect to run the 4 x 800.  

4.  Because there is a meet Sat, we need to practice ahead of time at least a little (you should be doing something on your own!!!)

Wed: sprinters at SJA from 2:00-3:30 in the afternoon
Wed: distance at SJA from 3:00-4:30 in the afternoon

Thurs: sprinters at SJA from 2:00-3:30 in the afternoon
Thurs: distance at south mastick 3:00-4:30 in the afternoon

5.  Because there is a meet and because there are practices you HAVE to have your paperwork up-to-date.  Mr. Manuszak sent the email to everyone who needs to get that going.  Get that done before Wed!

6.  Dress appropriately for practices!  Hats, gloves, tights, etc...expect to be outside whenever it is reasonable.

7.  Have good shoes and spikes!

8.  We will pass out uniforms this week...please have solid black shorts or tights to wear at meets.  All black - no white stripes of any kind!!

9.  Our focus for indoors is health, overall fitness, and a suitable background for outdoors.

10.  Happy belated birthday Ceci!!!
