SPIKES

Looks like RAIN for our Tuesday meet. Make sure we have 3/8" spikes in BEFORE Tuesday. Please don't wait until the last minute to change them. Stop by and see me on Monday if you need replacement spikes.

All varsity and JV athletes should be racing in spikes. You can find some VERY cheap ones on-line. XC courses tend to get pretty sloppy as the season progresses.

MODIFIED is not allowed to wear spikes.

DUAL MEETS

Here are a few 'dual meet' tips for our athletes:

HUNGER: A wise man once told me, 'You will be hungry after school.' I would pack a little snack in my bag --and eat it on the way to the meet. My favorites are--an apple or a granola bar. Another wise man told me, 'You will be STARVING after the meet'. Bring a post race snack for the bus. We will not be stopping to eat after this meet.

HYDRATION: Please pay attention to the liquids you put into your body. Water is best--end of story. Save your G2 for AFTER the meet.

WEATHER: Please pay attention to what is in store as far as weather is concerned--and dress appropriately.

NOTE: We will NOT be going to Sugar Creek after school prior to loading the bus. End of story. Don't even ask. Plan ahead.
