PLEASE READ!!!***Coach Green and I require that you check in with us when you get to Arrow Field and most imporatantly, CHECK OUT with us as well.
We'll provide a sign-in and sign-out sheet for you each day. Some of you have practice with the high school past 3:40, and we think it's great you're getting good practice time in. However, with the large number of athletes at Arrow Field during this time, it's easy to get you mixed up with the high school athletes. Again...let us know when you will be working with the high school to work on in-field events, and be sure to check out with Coach Green or myself when you leave Arrow Field when finished so we can account for you. This is to cut down on confusion, and most importantly, it's a requirement to keep you safe. Thank you. Coach Mac ***TRACK WARM-UPS AND GEAR*** Coach Green will be sending out an order form for track gear tomorrow or Friday at Sumner Hill. The gear will inlcude options for a gym bag, t-shirt, and top and bottom warm-ups (sweats). We'ree eager to get these orders in ASAP so we can have them in time for the season. Thanks!
