Redhawks,
I hope you all had an excellent spring break. Now is when the season really ramps up and truly gets fun. I hope you're ready to work.
This Thursday we will be racing at WX in a "relay meet". Essentially we will compete in a bunch of relays with the goal of hitting the state qualifying times so we don't have to attempt to qualify them at the region championship in May, and we can focus on winning/qualifying individuals. So, we really need everyone there. Some of you will be entered in some of the "odd" relays (the ones not in bold aren't competed at region or state, and are more just for the competition/experience), for the experience, and some of you will be in the few individual events which are listed below.
Practices will be as usual this week, rain or shine, so be prepared with the proper gear depending on weather.
Now is the time that we really start ramping up, and it is also the time that a number of kids start to lose motivation, and even consider quitting. If you are in that category, come talk to me, and we can see what we can do to help you. Obviously we want all of you to stick with it, and most times we can work through some of the conflicts. If we are going to win a region championship in May, it will be all hand on deck.
You can find the order of events for Thursday below.
If you have any questions please let me know.
