Hi Parents,

Please remember to visit athletic.net to follow your athlete’s achievements.  It is a great way to see their progression and look beyond just the outcome of individual races.
On the athletic.net website, every performance is tracked and recorded from youth track, all the way through high school and sometimes even beyond.

For those who are unfamiliar with athletic.net, when you go to the site,  you can enter in an athlete’s name in the search bar at the top of the page and  find all of their results. You can also enter Ventura Tigres (or other clubs) in the same search bar and see our team’s meet results.

The results from Saturday’s meet have been posted in athletic.net! Typically, it takes a day or two after our meets have been completed for results to find their way to the website. While results are usually pretty accurate, occasionally mistakes are made. If you happen to see anything incorrect, please let me know. We will do our best to get it corrected.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Warmly,
Coach Carol

Midgets, Coaches,  and Parents- You ROCK!!!!

Thank you all for your enthusiasm, effort, patience, sportsmanship, and athleticism on a chilly wet day!
Parents thank you for supporting your athletes and allowing them to stay and get a tad soggy.
A special thanks to the Timing and Staging volunteers who kept the meet moving very smoothly despite the weather.

From my perspective:
What went well:   huge improvements in relay handoffs resulting in no DQs and significantly faster times, distance athletes’ improved pacing, sprint athletes’ improved form, Midgets cheering on  not just fellow Midgets but everyone, and 5 full teams running the 4×400 at the end of a wet and cold day – that is 20 athletes- roughly 1/4 of our Midget team out there until the very end:)

What can we work on: remembering gear:)  I have a bag of (now dry) clothes and water bottles that I will bring on Monday and improved communication with our field athletes on how to best handle multiple calls, duck tape to make those darn stickers stay put.

I am so impressed with this group of athletes and I look forward to seeing you all on Monday.

Warmly (now),

Coach Carol
