MIDGETS TEAM PAGE (11-12)

Midget athletes and parents.
What an awesome end to our 2018 season! Our Midget athletes once again gave 100% effort in their races, relays, and field events. They set 15 PR’s, shared more laughs, cheered each other on and supported one another when outcomes were less than hoped for. As a parent, a coach, and an athlete, I find myself equally impressed with the way this group of Midget athletes handled both successes and failures. It has been both a pleasure and an honor to share their journey this season! Thank you!

For athletes that have not yet picked up their gifts from the picnic and for athletes that did not receive their medals from the CCC meet yesterday,  they will be available at Buena on Monday (5-14) from 4:30-5:30.

One last thing I forgot to mention at the picnic – If any athletes and/or parents are looking for more opportunities to run/race this summer, I encourage you to come out to the Boogie Nights Series at the Ventura Beach Promenade. The series is put on by Josh Spiker of Mile26 and supports Buena High cross country. You can run an individual race or join the series. More info can be found here.

Chance and I will be there most weeks. If your athlete wants to run but is unsure about the distance, drop me an email or text and I will happily pace them (if I can:)).

Again, thank you for a great season and I am already looking forward to next year.

Warmly,
Coach Carol

Thank you
Coach Carol

Parents and Varisty athletes,

Because there are drops and event limits in the Co-Conference Championships, we will not know who has officially qualified for this Saturday’s meet until some time on Tuesday.  So, if you came to practice last week, please plan on coming to practice on Monday.  Once we have a list of those who are able to compete on Saturday, we will publish the list.

See you all tomorrow.

Warmly,

Carol

Midgets families,

It was wonderful to see so many of you at our end of season picnic today.
Thank you for the kind words, hugs, smiling faces, and gifts.

For athletes who were unable to attend, your athlete gifts and packets with ribbons, medals and team picture will be at the Buena track on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday from 4:30 to 6:00. Please come by to the pick them up.

I will publish our Midget movie in the next few days, look out for an email with the link.

Warmly,
Carol

Championships/Varsity Athletes:

Saturday’s Championships meet will take place at

Moorpark High School
4500 Tierra Rejada Rd.

Meet start time is 8:30. 3200 runners arrive 7:45-8 for warm ups.

A few things to know about this meet:

Athletes are seeded by name therefore – no stickers

For all field events, if an athlete checks out they need to indicate what event they are leaving for. They then must report back to the field event within 5 minutes after completing the event they left for.

Coaches are not allowed on the field- but we will be on the sidelines for cheering and advice if needed:)

Once a field event is closed, a competitor may not compete in that event.

Warm ups may be done on top field or on infield.

This meet should run rather quickly as the heats are pre-seeded and there is only one heat per gender/age group so plan to arrive earlier than you think you should and enjoy watching the competition.

Order of events.

3200 meter (MG, MB, YG, YB, IG, IB)
100 meter hurdles (IB. YB, IG, YG)
80 meter hurdles (MG, MB)
400 meter/relays (GG, GB, BG, BB, MG, MB, YG, YB, IG, IB)

Happy Sunday everyone,

Yesterday’s meet was bittersweet for our Midget coaching staff. It was great to see so many exciting races and watch athletes setting new PRs but also sad to know that for many of our awesome athletes, it was the last meet of the season.

Here is a brief meet recap that I usually share on Mondays with the team, please share with your athlete:

Another amazing meet and once again this Midget team ran, jumped, and threw with awesome effort!
Despite the tough competition, we swept in the following events: G1600, Glong jump, G shot put, B1600, B100, B800, and B4x400

We set 48 PRs!!!
Score:
Roadrunners- 39
Panthers – 43
Stars- 61
Tigres- 196

For those athletes not moving on to compete in the Championships meet on Saturday, practices are now finished and we look forward to seeing you all at the Tigres End of Year Picnic on Sunday, May 6 from 12:00-3. Please attend. We will come together as a club and a team, share a few more laughs, eat some good food, and give out ribbons and gifts.

For athletes that qualified and are moving on to Championships for individual events and relay teams, this week’s practice is as follows:
Monday, Wednesday and Thursday at Buena from 4:30-6

We will have team practice, relay practice, and specialty practice each day.
