WEEK 2 ANNOUNCEMENTS

(Go to NEWS and click MEDIA to view previous news posts & announcements) 

Week 1 Wrap Up: We are off to a great start. We have our highest numbers ever with 73 athletes! We had an awesome first week culminating in a great time trial. With a quality Summer of training under our belt, we cannot wait to begin racing this week.

Shout Out: We want to recognize several athletes who have shown major improvement since our time trial last year. Below is a list of our biggest time improvements from the 2017 time trial. Congrats to these athletes for reaping the rewards of their hard work!

Note: The season is now in full swing. We expect athletes to be attending practice daily. Athletes who are injured should be working with the coach and the trainer to get healthy. They are still expected to attend practice. Communication is key as we like to know where athletes are at excused or unexcused. Please see our attendance policy if you have any questions about excused/ unexcused absences.

Our first party will be on this Friday, hosted by the Schommer's (2787 Delaware Lane). In general, Pasta parties will begin shortly after practice around 5:30pm. This will allow students the opportunity to quickly travel from practice and fuel up in a reasonable time frame. It also allows students to go to a football game or get home to sleep within a reasonable time frame. Pasta Parties are generally over between 7:30 and 8pm.
