Hello Pirate Middle School Cross Country!
What a great week we had last week! We’ve been working really hard. Tim and I have been so impressed with this great bunch of athletes! You’ve all risen to the level of workout that we’ve asked from you. Awesome!
Myrtle Point was a fun meet! Tim enjoyed having the whole town of Myrtle Point sing happy birthday to him. He even blushed! And we ran pretty well, too! I don’t have results yet (I’ll get them on Thursday at district) but I heard our boys were 1st and the girls were 2nd. Good job! After the meet I had a good ride home on my bike. It was 24 miles. It would have been 25 but we live on top of a hill so I called Tim and had him pick me up at the bottom. Must have been you kids who wore me out. J
This week we will have much lighter workouts. We want you all rested and ready for district on Thursday! So just for fun, this week you can tell your friends that we are taking it easy in practice and only running a couple miles at a time. They will think you are crazy. It will be great!
Monday: practice
Tuesday: practice in a muddy place.
Wednesday: PICTURES! Brush your teeth, comb your hair, and wear your uniform! There will be picture packets available. I will either get them to you before Wednesday (if the photographer gets them to me in time) or you can pick them up on Wed. from the picture lady. They’ll take a team photo and will do individual photos for those who want them. They won’t be as awesome as our pictures of the long jump contest at the dunes, but they will be something you can have to remember our season. And that is a good thing.
Thursday: DISTRICT MEET AT TUGMAN PARK!! Girls race at 4:15, boys at 4:45. We will have a one-way bus to the park (no bus home, have your parents come get you or you’ll have to walk. Or steal Barb’s bike). Millicoma students will be excused at 1:10, the bus is leaving Millicoma at 1:25. Then we go to the high school to pick up our awesome eighth graders at 1:50 (excused from class at 1:30). After that the bus will drive to Sunset to load kids at 2:05 (excused from class at 1:55). After the races there’s a hot dog feed. Cody loves hot dogs; you will have to fight him for them.
I am in the process of setting up our awards night. I am trying to arrange for next Tuesday (the 25th) at the high school cafeteria. I will keep you all posted.
