Hi Bantam families!

Yesterday was the last meet for many of our athletes, and I was SO impressed with their focus in their events and support for their teammates! We finally had some warmer weather and there were some impressive PRs for the sprinters. Watching their progress throughout the season has truly been awesome!

We hope that you put the May 19th date for the Tigres picnic on your calendar! We will be at the Ventura Unified School District Service Center on Stanley. Bantams are being asked to bring desserts (and any needed serving utensils) for 12 people and the Tigres organization is providing pizza and water. Lunch is 12:00-1:00, and after lunch and announcements, we will break into our smaller age groups.

If your athlete has misplaced something over the course of the season, the lost and found will be brought to the picnic location for one last look before everything that is unclaimed is donated.

I hope to see you there,

Coach Kristin

First of all, thank you SO much for those that brought the water balloons to our fun practice! We had so much fun!!

There are still quite a few that have not filled out their athlete’s shirt size, please try to get this done by Friday so I can get the order in. If you have difficulty with the link, feel free to email me their shirt size.

Hi Bantam families,

Just a quick reminder that tomorrow is our fun practice. If you can help with bringing filled water balloons, please text or email me. We have a lot of Bantams out there, and are looking forward to an epic water balloon battle! If you are bringing balloons for us, please take them down to the shot put area.

Please bring a towel for your athlete, they are going to be wet 🙂

Thanks so much,

Hi Bantam families,

Just some reminders for our meet tomorrow:

• We are running with the Camarillo Cosmos at home tomorrow
• Please have your athletes ready to go and on the track by 8:00.
• It looks like our weather may be cool in the morning, but heat up a bit in the afternoon so please send them with plenty of water, sunscreen, their labeled sweats, and healthy and easy to digest snacks. Water is allowed on the field, but all food must be kept in the stands.

• Relay help: I am still looking for one boy runner for the 4×400.

I can’t wait to watch them run!

See you tomorrow,

Coach Kristin

Just a quick reminder that team pictures will be taken during practice time TODAY.  Please be sure to wear uniforms to practice – uniform top, black shorts. If athletes would like to wear a shirt under their singlet, please make it white or black.

Thanks!
