WEEK #4 announcements

WEEK #4 FRESHMAN OF THE WEEK is Ethan Schneider.  He had a GREAT performance in the team challenge on Friday and has BECOME a great part of the hurdle crew last week!!

Sent to all parents and students:

I wanted to discuss uniform hand out this week. I do not want to run practice short this week to handout uniforms. My thought is to handout uniforms (warm-ups, singlets and shorts) at 5:30 on Thursday. Generally, Tuesdays and Thursdays, are 'off days' and days we get technique for the field events done along with team stuff (meetings, etc.). I would like to hand out uniforms from 5:30 to 6:30 on Thursday. IF this is a major family issue (other appointments) please send me an e-mail or have your athlete let me know ahead of time today or tomorrow they need to get their uniform in the morning. I will allow for a planned number of students to get their uniforms in the morning if I know ahead of time. I will be in at 6AM to handle any needs of the families.

Our 2 meets in February are both VERY different in nature. This Saturday, the Valentine relays at Proviso West high school, STARTS at 1PM (VERY different than every other meet we attend) is ONLY varsity/JV and will only be three events......4x800 4x200 and 4x400 relays. Line ups will go out today! Next Saturday is a meet FOR EVERYONE on the team. It is at St.Charles North high school at starts at 9am (a regular Saturday meet start time).

SEHS track and field gear flyers went out on Friday of last week. I am asking students to purchase the 3-pack practice shirts(letter B) and a meet shirt (D or E). I also have parent shirts, bucket hats, shorts and a sweat shirt combo on there. Varsity will also need to purchase their own spandex for $20, which match our new varsity singlet tops. For the most part varsity will depend on performance level.

Finally, I will have some raffle prizes for the parent night on Feb 26th at 6PM in the commons. 2 gift cards to Dick Ponds, a pair of re-sizable spikes (can be turned in for a new size), and running gifts from Glen Kamps from Dick Ponds- St. Charles. He always takes care of many of our team events and is VERY informative about gear for track and field.
