Sweat Issues and other stuff

I had a parent thinking she could not afford to have her child in XC because after paying $160.00 she could not afford more for sweats. Buying the sweats is optional. We do have sweats that are loaners for the season - for free.

No one has stepped forward to offer a BBQ, so unless you have heard otherwise don't bring meat - or bring meat and keep it in a cooler.

We will have a team tee shirt which will be optional. If your athlete worked at the Lakefair Run their's will be free. We will let you know soon about the cost.

A big thank you for all the parents who showed up for parent night. The questions were good and I want you to know that you can e mail me at anytime with questions or concerns. I used to say there are no stupid questions - but then I taught middle school for 31 years. Trust me, if you think the question you have is stupid I have a list of about 1000 that can top it. I miss them though.

We have a new person that will be helping and running with us from time to time. His name is Chris Helm and he ran a 9:14 two mile in high school which is good, but even better he can't run that fast anymore and he'll be in the middle of the pack on the long runs. Isn't wonderful how old age makes us better - I get more wonderful all the time.

Big day tomorrow at Yaugher. We meet at 3:00 at the horseshoe pits. It's a potluck!
