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.

Midgets Water Battle 2018

Thank you parents and athletes for an epic water balloon battle!!!

Click on the link above for a glimpse of the fun.

HI Parents,

We still need help to fill up and bring water balloons for Wednesday. Please email or text if you can help. The more balloons we have, the more fun for the kids.

Parents and athletes,

I hope you all had a great night’s sleep after that exciting and a bit exhausting meet. A huge thank you to all athletes, parents, and coaches that waited until the very end to watch 9 teams of Midgets run the 4×400 under the lights! It was a great finish to the day and I am always impressed and inspired by the effort the athletes put into their relays to support their team when they are nearly tapped out.

This week is the start of our Finals/Championships portion of our season. For our athletes that have not qualified for Championships, this will be their last week of practice:(

Monday’s practice will be normal team practice.

Wednesday will be our “fun” practice and I hope all of your athletes can attend. Normal time and place with a slightly different flare.
And……..We need your help.
We need 6 (or more) parents to bring ~100 (or more) filled water balloons to practice. You can bring them in coolers and deposit them on the grassy strip on the visitor’s side of the track.
Please email midgets@venturatigres.org or text 8053206544 if you can help.

Also, expect your kids to be a little wet at pick up:) Oh and maybe a little sugared up too:)

Enjoy your Sunday.
GOOOOO MIDGETS!
