Recent Happenings

First, I must apologize for not updating the blog in the last week or so. I've been trying to get our website up and running for Salem's 1st Annual Witches 5K Run and Children's Mile, and as a result I've neglected this website. My sincere apologies!

Because I can hardly remember what I did yesterday, let alone last week, I'll just post our meet results below. Great job to all of you who continue to PR week in and week out. We are making great progress each week, and we are thrilled with where we are right now. Two weeks from today is REGION!!! I can't believe how quickly the season's flying by! Let's not waste a minute!

Now, for all of you out there interested in running 5K's, we are organizing a GREAT road race for October 31st here at the high school. Our hope is to turn this into one of the great community races in Utah County, and we need your help! Go to www.SalemWitchesRun.blogspot.com to register and find out more information. It will be a LOT of FUN!!!

Footlocker Western Regionals in Walnut, CA
December 3-6, 2009

We just received information regarding the Footlocker Western Regional Championships in Walnut, CA. The dates of the trip will be December 3-6, 2009. 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 $276.00. It's $15.00 to register for the meet (www.footlockercc.com), $220.00 for the transportation and hotel (3 nights), and $41.00 for our Disneyland trip.
2- We need $100.00 down payment turned in to the SHHS Finance office by October 1st. We have to turn in this down payment to hold our spots on the bus. This date is FIRM.
3- Register online at www.footlockercc.com by October 1st.
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.

I'm attaching the information we are sending home with the athletes, in case you lose the originals. Click Here.
