Friday Meet and Assembly

I fully expect to be finished with the Edmond Santa Fe meet by 12:30 if the officials keep the races on time. I have talked to the runners at practice and only a couple have told me that they need a ride to and from the meet. The others have indicated that they will ride with their parents or together to the meet.

After the meet it would be great to go eat together as a team. Then you need to be back at school for a 2:35 Assembly.

During the assembly I want all runners to sit together and wear your cross country t-shirts. You will be introduced and I will talk a bit about our season so far.

This will be a busy day, so know where you need to BE WHEN and BE THERE.

Morning Practice?

I haven't received any emails or calls from the principal, so I assume that everyone has been getting to school on time.

Feel free to email me with your opinions about morning practice. I have to make the best decisions for the team which may or may not be what you prefer, but please let me know what you think.

Either comment here or email me mwilson@ocssaints.org
