Ok, Here is what  I have.  Please keep in mind that each track meet can change.  I will continue to keep running times.  Placement on the team will be determined by times ran in practice, throwing distance and jumping heights/distance.  I will give each girl a copy of the events they are to run.  On Friday we will hand out uniforms and talk about proper behavior at track meets.  On Monday we will leave school at 2:10.  The field events start at 3:30 as well as the 3200 m run.

I have a few running events chosen that I am ready to announce.  The others and field events will be ASAP.

*2400 meter run (1.5 miles) – Bella Sacco, Shaynee Troxell, Chole Marsh

400 meter run – Kara Carter, Alexis Herrera, Kasey Carr

800 meter run – Kara Carter, America Camacho, Maci Teague

*Some track meets will have a 3200 or a 2400 and a 1200 or a 1600 race.  I am not sure which they will have but I am confident that those girls can do it!

**Weather permitting we will have some run offs for sprinting, if not I will use the times I have and make the decisions to place the sprinters.

Several things I need to address as the track season is now in full swing!

*Please check the blog everyday by 2:30 to check on practice.  If weather is bad I will let you know by 2:30 if we will have practice.  It is calling for rain most of the week, however, I want to practice if at all possible!

*We have a lot of girls “needing” ice during practice.  This is no longer available.  If a student needs to ice, I will send them home to do so.  This is for several reasons:  Our athletic trainer is part time and is not at the track every day.  After today, coaches have been told not to allow students in the training room.  So if a student needs ice during practice, I will have them call you to come get them.  It does no good for them to sit out during practice.  I understand if they have injured them self during practice and need ice.  I will take care of a injury that occurred during practice.  However, for shin splints and other aches and pains, the girls need to learn to work through it.  They need to stretch at home, ice at home and take care of any other needs at home.  The conditioning they miss due to them needing to take a break and ice, will be made up.  Please talk to your child about this new rule.

*Please send water bottles for them to drink at practice.  There will no longer be cups of water offered at the track due to students not throwing their cups in the trash can.  When the trainer is not at school there is not water available unless they go up to the weight room to the water fountain.  So please send them with a water bottle every day.

*We have several girls who have make up work due to absents or icing during practice.  If they have make up work to complete, I will scratch them from the track meet come Monday.  All make up work needs to be complete before they are allowed to run in a meet.

*I have several girls not showing effort during practice.  Those who are not showing effort will not make the track meet.  I am keeping times everyday we run.  I am making the team up by comparing those times.  This is very hard to place girls where they need to be.  I wanted to make teams up tonight, however due to all the make up running today I was not allowed to go up to watch the discus or shot put.  I will get there tomorrow.  I hope to post the runners tomorrow morning and the field events tomorrow night.

*One last thing to talk to your girls about.  After school practice is just a little crazy!  All the high school and middle school kids are out there and only 6 coaches.  They really need to focus on their event and staying on task.  Those who are in running and field events need to stay till 5pm.  The girls who either only throw or only run may leave at 4:30.  Please be ready to pick your daughter up when practice ends.

Thank you for your support during this track season.  I am working the girls really hard but it will pay off!  (I told the girls they will be ready for swimsuit season when track is over!)

I am looking forward to competing on Monday and winning FIRST PLACE!

We will practice everyday this week, (as of now).  Some will finish at 4:30 (those who are running only – no field events) and  5 for those who are running hurdles or practicing field events.  I hope to have the team announced on Wednesday as to who will run on Monday.  I still need to look at hurdles and field events.

***I know the weather is not looking good right now, however, I will not decide if practice is cancelled until about 2:30.  We have missed so many days due to rain and we will not have practice on Monday.  If at all possible we need practice today!!

I hope everyone is enjoying the sunshine today!  We will have track practice today and Friday till about 4:30.  However, those who want to stay and work longer on field events are welcome to do so!  Have a great day!!

Sorry but Coach Burks wants to meet with all the throwers for about 30 min after school!

There will be NO after school practice TODAY.  We will try again tomorrow!

GO LADYNECKS!

What a wet practice we had!  Just a small change for a few girls……

Anna, Jensen, Colleen, Viance, and Kayla…..they will finish around 4:30 every afternoon unless they want to stay longer.

As of now the rest will stay until 5:00pm.

If you write a note for your child to be “excused” from running they will still dress out and walk the track and stay for practice.  However, unless there is a doctor’s note, she will not be excused after one day.  Please have a doctor’s note if she is to be out more than one day.

Thank you.

GO LADYNECKS!

***Remember no after school practice today!***
