Conference Championship 10/20

Everyone is welcome and encouraged to run

Explanation

The reason we are not running all of our runners for both meets is two pronged. First, the team has set goals for the conference championships and to give us the best chance to reach these goals, some of our runners need an easy day, not a race, tomorrow. Second, I want some of the runners who do not usually score for the team to experience a little bit of what it will be like for them next year. Just a little bit of added pressure that I think will be a good learning experience for the future.

If your son/daughter is not racing tomorrow and they can still make it to the race, it would be ideal. I would like for them to run an easy 30 min. before the race and then cheer their teammates on. Please have them wear a Trinity t-shirt (New XC shirt?). If they cannot attend, please have them run on their own. Thanks and I will post our itinerary later this evening.

Dropped meets

I've gotten several emails about dropped meets and I just want to clear up a few things about them.

All of the 6th graders dropped one of the first two meets (H&H and Cannon invites).
All of the 6th graders will drop one more meet out of the following:

• Sept 26 - Charlotte Latin
• Oct. 11 - Fisher Farm
• Oct. 17 - Gaston Day

We will all run (not necessarily race) on Thursday at Boyce Park. This is the site of our conference championship and I want them all to run the course.

I would prefer the 6th graders drop Sept. 26 or Oct. 11. I plan to have the rest of the team not run on Oct. 17 while letting the 6th grade race (experience, give the rest of the team a rest before Conference Championship). I want to wait to see how the season plays out so look for updates about the last two races. This is not set in stone. I wanted to be flexible for their schedules and to give the team the best chance to be successful at the last meet of the season.

Charlotte Latin Meet is still on!

Extra drivers for the meet will be Mrs. Jones and Mrs Pursley. Thanks!
