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,

Coach Kristin

Good Morning,

With the VCYTC qualifying lists now complete, we are officially in our championship season! If your athlete did not qualify for the Conference Championships this will be their last week of practice. 🙁

Monday April 29th – Regular practice at Buena

Wednesday May 1st – Our last regular team practice. This is our “fun” practice. I need at least 8 parents to bring pre-filled water balloons for this day. Please text/email me if you can bring them pre-filled 🙂

The full schedule of specialty practices is also available to the athletes this week.

Saturday May 4th – Meet at Fillmore HS. ALL athletes can compete in this meet. If your athlete qualified for the Conference Championships they are not eligible to run in that event. They can however run in the events they did not qualify for.

——————————————————————————————————————————–

Saturday May 11th – Conference Championships (aka Varsity) meet – athletes must have qualified for this meet.

We are excited to congratulate the following athletes for securing a spot at the Saturday, May 11th meet. In addition to those below, I will be sending a 4×100 girls and boys team, and a 4×400 girls and boys team. I will be finalizing those teams this week, and will be announcing them on Wednesday.

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

Hi families,

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!

Coach Kristin

Team pictures will be taken during practice time on Wednesday.  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!

I am so incredibly proud of all of our athletes for the performances, their support of each other, and their incredible attitudes this weekend. Your Bantam coaches are a lucky crew!!

I cannot believe it, but we only have two regular meets left before we start the Championship meets.

• April 20th and 27th are our final regular meets (both home meets!).
• May 4th is the Conference Finals (open to all athletes). This will be the last meet for many of our athletes.
• May 11th is the Conference Championships (athletes must qualify during our regular season).
• May 18th is the Co-Conference Championships (athletes must qualify through the Conference Championship meet on May 11th).

In order to qualify for the May 11th Conference Championships, an athlete needs to be in the Top 9 in the VCYTC in the 100, 200, 400, long jump, high jump, or shot put or in the Top 12 in the VCYTC in the 800 or 1600. Qualifying for the Conference Championships is an incredible achievement, and we really want to see as many of our athletes as possible be part of this meet.

Please look at the following link to see where the best opportunities are for each athlete. If qualifying is something that your athlete wants to achieve, then help guide them in choosing their events in the next two meets.

I am sure there will be lots of questions, so please do not hesitate to ask.

Thanks for all of the support,

Coach Kristin
