1) We ARE having Cross Country this year in the Fall!
2) The first official day of practice is September 18 at 3PM. Until we get situated, we shall be practicing at 3PM each school day...but this shall likely be adjusted depending upon the factors involved with remote learning and how we can insure runners can get to the school (keep in mind that I also have a son that shall be running for Sabis and am unaware what their schedule shall be)
3) The actual schedule shall be released sometime around September 28 for contests. As of now, not all schools have declared and thus no one really knows how meets shall work out because there SHALL be restrictions on contests...including spectators.
4) For the moment there are no sports busses. but I figure that shall change as there shall be a ZOOM MEETING on Friday for parents to go over questions, concerns all pertaining to how our community is looking at sports.
5) Things can change in a heartbeat based upon how well we comply and adapt to the changes.
6) Mr. Magee shall provide red gaiters for all fall sports athletes, along with specific rules as to when we must wear them (or masks).We should still support Ms. Dimitroglou's initiative to sell masks. Just remember NO SHARING (of anything we wear, or imbibe).
7) We shall need managers to help run our meets and keep statistics. It would also be helpful to try and recruit people that are interested in wearing our colors. SPECIFICALLY, I would like for us to talk to a few people that are probably involved in Soccer, but would be great assets to our overall program now and in the future: Ellie Mara, Julieann Voight and Abby Davis. Each performed well during the Indoor season and would comfortably find a home with us as Sophomores now.
Let them know they are welcome. What they decide to do is up to them, but we have typically had transfers that have joined us for various reasons and have had great success...THINK about Ashley Corcoran(who became an All-American),Abby Laughlin, Julie Lemanski, Kathleen Wicks, Shannon Brennan, Ashley Pelzek (best hoop player here ever)...the list goes on and on!
8) There is more, but we shall take things one step at a time I want to meet with parents at some point and discuss possible locations for practices ( Forest Park, Stanley Park, etc.), along with gear that the Girls are interested in purchasing (make certain Juniors are involved, because THEY will have to wear the stuff next year).
9) We shall still have the great ones: Scott Besser and Gary Gorman to work with during the course of the season and especially on the weekends. Perhaps even some surprises...
10) I believe we have a pretty good team, despite the lack of numbers.
