4/9 update

Braves,

We officially have 4 full weeks until the region meet. I hope you all feel renewed after this long break we’ve had and are ready to get after it starting tomorrow at practice. Thanks to those who were able to come to practice this week. We had a good group each day ready to work hard and get better, and that is exactly what we need going forward.

No matter your talent level or whether you were lazy over spring break, or if you weren’t super dedicated before spring break, we want you all to be back at practice with a new determination to get yourself and the team better.

A few things to know for the week:
    1.       We are hosting a meet on Thursday and we will need all of your help to run it. You will be competing in it, but we will need all of your help to make it run smoothly. We need each of you to stay until the end to help clean up as well. This should be a pretty fast meet with only a couple schools coming, so I do not anticipate it running late.

    2.       We will be taking the team picture for the yearbook on Wednesday at practice (if that changes I will let you know), so bring your uniform. Several people will forget the uniform and feel sheepish, don’t let that be you.

    3.       The Taylorsville invitational is on Saturday (it was not on our schedule) but we have decided to take a small group to that meet. We won’t be able to take everyone, in part because it is a qualifying meet, so we will talk to individuals on Monday. If that is something you are interested in, let your coaches know.

Every week from here on out we have an invitational: Taylorsville, woods cross, davis, then BYU. After that it is region and state. Time is going fast so let’s enjoy it while we have it. Be positive at practice, encourage your teammates, trust your coaches, go beyond the minimum, and just enjoy the journey of the season. This is when it gets fun.
