California Trip Information

We just received information regarding the Footlocker Western Regional Championships in Walnut, CA. The dates of the trip will be December 4-7, 2008. This trip is optional, and will not impact a student's status on the team. However, it is a GREAT time, and we want everyone to consider coming! It is always the highlight of the Cross country season. In preparation for our departure, there are a few things to be aware of:
1- The cost will be $280.00. It's $15.00 to register for the meet (www.footlockerwest.com), $230.00 for the transportation and hotel (3 nights), and $35.00 for an optional Disneyland trip (you definitely want to go to Disneyland).
2- We need $100.00 down payment turned in to the SHHS Finance office by September 30th. We have to turn in this down payment to hold our spots on the bus. This date is FIRM.
3- Register online at www.footlockerwest.com by September 30th.
4- Sign and return the parent permission slip attached here.

Our basic itinerary is as follows:
Thursday--Leave at approximately 7:00 am. We'll stop in St. George for a workout, then drive on to California.
Friday--Friday morning we'll go to Mt. SACC to register and jog the course. After that, we'll head to Huntington Beach for the afternoon--swimming, volleyball, frisbee, and of course, dinner at RUBY'S DINER at the end of the pier...mmm, I can taste it now!
Saturday--We'll race Saturday morning at Mt. SACC. That afternoon, we'll head to Disneyland for the evening. Disneyland will be all decked out in Christmas decorations...it is SUCH a great time!
Sunday--We'll get up early Sunday morning and drive straight home. We should be back by about 9:00 pm, exhausted but with memories that will last a lifetime! We hope you can be with us.
