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!
