Announcements Oct 10-15
Hey Pirate Cross Country Runners!
Great job on Saturday! I hope you all got your shoes dried out after running through the surf and across the creek. Tim and I always love watching our athletes run the Sunset Invitational for a couple reasons: first of all it’s a beautiful course and who doesn’t love running at the beach? And second, we are at the point in our season where athletes are running distances and times they didn’t think they were capable of a few short weeks ago! It ROCKS that you guys go out every day after school and run a few miles! Most of your friends will never have that experience. We are very proud of you! We hope that you will enjoy running for the rest of your lives!
Next Saturday, Oct 15 is an exciting day for two reasons: 1) It’s Tim’s birthday! He will be a whopping 52 years old! Can you believe it? I bet most of you didn’t know that anyone could even get that old. We will have to look for an opportunity to sing happy birthday to him. We’ll be sure to look for a time when we can really embarrass him. J And, 2) We have a meet at Myrtle Point! This is a really fun race. It starts and ends at the high school in Myrtle Point. There is only one race—boys and girls all run together. We’ll take a bus up and back.
Here’s our schedule:
Monday, Oct 10: Practice!
Tuesday: Practice!
Wednesday: Guess what—practice!
Thursday: Um….practice!
Friday: no school! Stay home and eat ice cream!
Saturday, Oct 15: Myrtle Point Invitational! We will catch the bus in the parking lot by the track at Marshfield. Bus loads at 9:50, leaves at 10:00. The race is at 12:00. Immediately afterwards we get back on the bus and come home, so we’ll be back at Marshfield approximately 1:45.
Monday: Oct 17: Practice!
Tuesday: Practice!
Wednesday: Short, light practice!
Thursday, Oct 20: DISTRICT MEET AT TUGMAN PARK! Girls race at 4:00, boys at 4:30. There is usually an after-race time that involves hot dogs, too. That ought to make Cody happy, too!
Knock, Knock
Who’s there?

Boo who?
Don’t cry, cross country will be back again next year!
