The Tigres End of Season Picnic was so fun; what a great way to cap off a fantastic season! For those moving to High School, we are excited to watch your career, and your HS coaches will be thrilled with your work ethic, attitude, and personality!
If you were unable to attend the picnic, you could pick up your athlete gift and packet (ribbons, team picture, and gift) at Buena’s track on Tuesday-Thursday from 4:30-5:30. We are still practicing with the athletes moving on to Super Varsity this weekend, so have your athlete find me, and I will show them where to pick up their things.

Y/I – JV Meet, Picnic info, and Varsity Practice schedule
Hi Youth and Intermediate Families!
Yesterday was the last meet for many of our athletes, and I was SO impressed with their focus in their events and support for their teammates! The weather was perfect for distance in the morning and sprinters in the afternoon, and there were some impressive PRs! Watching their progress throughout the season has truly been awesome!
Although the season may be coming to a close for many of our athletes, we are excited to invite you to our Tigres Picnic on Sunday, May 7th. The picnic will be held in the Quad area of Buena High School, located in the center of the school, behind the cafeteria. Tigres will provide various pizzas, and we ask that Youth and Intermediate athletes bring drinks for 12 people in individual containers. Lunch will be served from 12:00-1:00, followed by announcements and a celebration of our athletes’ accomplishments broken down by age group.
If your athlete has misplaced something over the season, the lost and found will be brought to the picnic location for one last look before everything unclaimed is donated.
The following athletes will continue with practice this week (Monday-Thursday) on a slightly shorter schedule (4:30-5:45).

Y/I – JV Meet in Fillmore 4/29
Bring on the championship season!!
- As a reminder, ALL athletes are eligible to compete in the JV Meet tomorrow (4/28) at Fillmore High School.
- If your athlete secured a spot in the Varsity meet for an individual event, they are not eligible to run that event in JV.
- The arrival time of 7:45 is incredibly important for athletes doing the 3200, hurdles, and 4×100! The early time allows us to warm them up properly; the 3200 and hurdles need a long warm-up, and the team bonding time and warm-up before the 4×100 is essential.
- Very warm weather is predicted tomorrow in Fillmore, so please pack sunscreen in addition to extra water for your athlete.
Please feel free to call or text with any questions,

Y/I – Last week of regular practice and JV Meet info
Hi Youth and Intermediate Families 🙂
Our meet yesterday against the Oxnard Starts marked the end of the regular season. As usual, our athletes came out with great attitudes and competed hard! Many athletes tried new events, and there were SO MANY new PRs. Hopefully, your athlete had fun!!
We are now moving on to the championship season. As a reminder, ALL athletes are eligible to compete in the JV Meet this week (4/28) at Fillmore High School. However, if your athlete secured a spot in the Varsity meet for an individual event, they are not eligible to run that event in JV. Also, in order to compete in an event at the JV Meet this weekend, they must have competed in that event during our regular season.
We will have our normal practice schedule this week; Wednesday’s practice will be a quick workout followed by fun and games.
Once the list of athletes that have qualified for Varisty is set, I will send an update with the individual names and the relay teams that will be representing Tigres at the Varsity Meet on 5/6. Those qualifying athletes will continue to practice with us for the first two weeks of May.
Please reach out with your questions,
Kristin

Y/I – Reminder NO practice today 4/12
Hi Youth and Intermediate Families,
Just a couple of reminders for this week:
- There is NO Tigres practice today due to a home meet at Buena.
- If your athlete has not yet signed up, please text me their events. I will begin creating their relay teams tomorrow, so please sign up ASAP.
- Our meet this week with the Camarillo Cosmos begins at 3:00 with a check-in of 2:15. This arrival time is incredibly important for athletes doing the 3200, hurdles, and 4×100! The early time allows us to warm them up properly; the 3200 and hurdles need a long warm-up, and the team bonding time and warm-up before the 4×100 is important.
- For parent volunteers, this will be your fourth of four meet obligations. Please know that you must fulfill all four shifts to earn priority registration for next season. Our waitlist is long this year, and we really want all of our athletes to be able to earn that priority status to ensure their spot on the team. If you have questions about volunteering, please get in touch with Jeremy Patelzick at tigres.ventura@gmail.com
Please let me know if you have any questions,
Kristin
