For all of our athletes who are not advancing to the Varsity Finals on May 10, today marked their last regular practice of the season—and for some, the end of their Tigres career. It was a bittersweet day, realizing that this weekend will be their final competition, yet it has been an absolute pleasure to coach them over the past four months. To celebrate, we wrapped up practice with fun relays and a well-earned stop at the Mr. Softee ice cream truck!
Saturday’s JV Meet at Buena High School
We have a full team set to race this Saturday at Buena High School, with many athletes signed up. However, around 20 athletes missed today’s practice or may have been caught up in the excitement and didn’t finalize their events.
If your child is competing at the JV meet, please confirm that they spoke with a coach about their events.
If they haven’t, please let me know their preferences as soon as possible so I can sign them up with the timer.
Remember, athletes can only compete in events they participated in during the regular season.
Meet Schedule & Preparation
The meet begins at 7:45 AM arrival time for 3200m runners, hurdlers, and 4x100m relay teams.
All other athletes start at 8:00 AM.
With six teams competing, it will be a long day—proper preparation is key!
Athlete Prep Recommendations: ✔ Rest well the night before. ✔ Stay hydrated daily leading up to the meet. ✔ Eat nutritious food the night before and in the morning. ✔ Pack a healthy snack to enjoy between events.
Team Setup & Spectator Info
Due to space limitations, athletes will NOT be allowed to camp on the field. Our team will set up a tent on the grassy knoll on the visitor’s side, which will also provide track access. This will be their home base for the meet.
Spectators are welcome to sit in either set of stands. The Gremlins will have two canopies in the stands, and the rest of the club will be joining us on the grass.
Final Reminder
There will be a specialty practice tomorrow, and I look forward to seeing everyone on Saturday!
