2017 Season Start

Alright, Alright... I'll update the blog... Sorry for those of you who have been checking back for updates on the season.  I kind of forgot about this site... My bad!

So, we've had our first two races, and we're off to a great start!  We have a great deal left to do, and we are NO WHERE near where we hope to be by season's end, but we are excited about the grit, determination, competitiveness, teamwork and excitement we've seen so far!  Let's keep up the great work!


RESULTS

If you'd like to find results from the first two races, there are two places you can look:
1- Runnercard.com--runnercard hosted both of our first two races, so the results are online there.  Not all of our races will be using runnercard, so not all results will post here.

2- Athletic.net--This is the site we use to post all our results to.  It is a 3rd party site, so results aren't posted immediately--I usually have to go through and upload them sometime after the meets are over, so don't panic if you don't see results right away.  You can also see your progression throughout the season here.

I've had several of you asking about our season schedule.  I apologize if it never made it home to you.  So, here it is: (and it's posted in the right margin here too)

AGGIE INVITATIONAL
This weekend we will be traveling to Logan for the USU Aggie Invitational. It's a great race, and we turn it in to an overnighter! The cost is $50/athlete. Please let us know if your athlete cannot afford the cost, and we will work something out!

Here's our itinerary:

CALIFORNIA
We will once again be traveling to California for the Footlocker Western Regional for any athletes that are interested. The trip will be a little different this year, as we will be traveling with Maple Mountain HS, and we will be going Wed-Sat, rather than the traditional Thur-Sun trip. Here's our basic itinerary:

Wednesday (Nov 29):
2:00pm Depart Salem Hills HS
12:00am Arrive at Hampton Inn, West Covina

Thurday (Nov 30):
8am-11pm Entire day spent at Disneyland Resort

Friday (Dec 1):
8:00am Register/Run the course
11:00am Depart for Huntington Beach
5:00pm Return to Hotel
9:00pm Lights out/Room checks

Saturday (Dec 2):
6:00am Depart hotel for Course
7-11:00am Compete/support teammates
12:00pm Check out of hotels/Depart for home
12:00am Arrive at Salem Hills High School

The cost of the trip will be $400, which is actually less expensive than it's been the past few years! $383 will be paid to the SHHS Finance Office. The other $17 will be paid with a credit card when you register for the race (www.footlockercc.com/west).
