Hello Again!
It’s
been a while since we last spoke…Now that we’re through our technical
difficulties, I wanted to say congratulations on a great start to the
season! Watching everyone compete over the past two weekends, it’s
clear that all of your hard work is paying off…We’ve had some
outstanding individual and team performances…Special congratulations
go out to the Gremlin Girls, Gremlin Boys, Bantam Girls and Youth Boys
who all earned team trophies at the Pierce College Invitational!
For
everyone who was around for the Youth Boy’s race, I wanted to provide
an update on the Youth Boy that was airlifted from the course…He was
treated at Children’s Hospital and was home by last night…He was
bumped and bruised, but already talking about Monday’s practice…This
is an important reminder about the importance of hydration and
nutrition all week long…Saturday morning is too late to catch up!
Take care of your body and it will take care of you!
Here are some important things you need to be updated on for this week!
Practice Schedule- note Wednesday’s change!
Monday- 6pm @ Bridgeport Park
Wednesday- 6:30pm to 7:45pm @ COC Track
NOTE:
Due to the COC Football practice (and the colorful language associated
with it) we will warm-up off the track beginning at 6:30pm and begin
the track workout at 7pm.
Thursday- 6pm@ Central Park
Mt. SAC Invitational- This Weekend!
This is a SUNDAY meet!
Mt.
SAC is a legendary XC Course…Kind of like the Fenway Park of XC…Mt.
SAC is located in Walnut, CA in the Inland Empire and can be VERY HOT!
Another reminder to hydrate all week long!
Pi-Yo in the Park
Pi-Yo
in the Park will be cancelled next weekend due to the Mt. SAC
Invitational…It will resume the following weekend at 9am on Sunday
morning in Bridgeport Park…Come and give it a try! It’s a great
compliment to your running!
League Finals T-Shirts
We
will begin taking orders for League Finals T-Shirts this week at
practice…The shirts will have the VYC League Finals logo on the front
and a list of all VYC Athletes on the back…It’s a great souvenir to
commemorate your 2008 XC Season and proceeds will benefit the
post-season athletes…T-shirts will be $12 ($13 for XXL) and MUST be
ordered by October 11th…Don’t miss out!
That’s enough administrative stuff for now! I hope you’re as excited as I am about Mt. SAC this weekend!
Yours in Running
Darren, Director SCVAA WXC
