Announcement
Hi Parents and Runners!
Wow,
get ready to drink from a fire hose. This email is LONG, but FULL of
important details for upcoming events. Bear with me, Mustangs!
THIS WEEKEND: CASTRO VALLEY AND CLOVIS DETAILS
FS
and JV who are not taking the SAT test (or otherwise already excused)
are running the 2.1 mile course at Castro Valley. Bus loads at 7:45 a.m.
Saturday, leaves Monte Vista promptly at 8. JV runners may be driven
by parents to the meet - with advance approval;
they must arrive by 11 a.m. All FS must ride the bus to the meet. Bus
returns to MV at 1:30. Runners may be driven home with parents after
their race. Additional Castro Valley Meet Info. Varsity will be in Fresno at the Clovis Invite (details mailed separately to varsity runners).
PHOTO DAY MOVING TO OCT 29 / NO OCT 14 CARBO LOAD
We
are moving photo day to Wednesday, Oct. 29. Too many conflicts with
Homecoming events. Photo forms will be handed out at practice. All
athletes are in the photo and must be in uniform (racing tops and shorts).
Nobody is required to buy any photos, nor is there a free photo. If you
want a team or individual photo, you must pay for it by bringing the
completed photo form, with payment, on photo day. With the photo day
move to OCT 29 and the busy homecoming week, we are not going to hold a
Carbo Load on Tuesday, Oct. 14 as originally indicated on the team
calendar. We may do a Carbo Load before EBAL Championships if there is
student and parent support for the idea (feel free to reply to me if you
have an opinion).
EBAL CENTER MEET ON OCT 15
Get
ready to rumble with our league rivals! The meet is right after school.
Coaches will give students dismissal instructions. Parents: we still
need 7 more volunteers for easy race day duties like helping out at the
scorer's table or monitoring the course. Please sign up for a remaining slot. Thank you!
There will be only 4 races:
4:00 FS/JV Boys
4:35 FS/JV Girls
5:15 V Boys
5:45 V Girls
4:00 FS/JV Boys
4:35 FS/JV Girls
5:15 V Boys
5:45 V Girls
CROSS COUNTRY NIGHT AT THE FOOTBALL SNACK SHACK ON OCT 17
For
those new to the team, every Monte Vista sports team takes a turn doing
this, and this our night. A portion of the proceeds flow back to MVXC.
Please help us fulfill our obligation and make this night a success.
Very fun event! Hang out with other XC parents and sell snacks at the
game. Volunteer job starts at 6 pm and ends when the snack shack closes
for the night. Bonus: volunteers don't pay at the gate for entrance to
the football game. We need 6 more volunteers to sign up.
OVERNIGHT RELAY
It
was a great night and the folks at Save Mt. Diablo will be grateful to
receive help from some of the mountain's most frequent visitors: MVXC
runners. We are still accepting donations, even if your athlete did not
participate. Please note: donations should be from the athlete (from
their allowance, work earnings, etc), not the parents. We hope to turn
over a check to SMD next week. Bring donations, cash or checks payable
to MVXC, to practice.
UNIFORMS & TEAM APPAREL
All warmups, uniforms and team t-shirts are in and being handed out.
CHECK THE WEBSITE
Don't forget to check our team website for news, results, and photos. The Home page and Team News page are updated almost every week.
