Thursday will be picture day. Please bring uniforms . Group and individual pix will be made and the photographer will provide a cd for those who order one. I will get details on prices etc before Thursday.
Lake Murray Invitational is this Saturday at CCP The first race is at 8:30 AM.
The schedule of races is:
8:30 JV GIrls
9:15 JV Boys
10:00 Varsity Girls
10:45 Varsity Boys
Awards follow the finish of the boys varsity race at the picnic tables near the restrooms.
I would ask those:
1. Who worked the finish line for our home meets 2. Who monitored the field 3.Stephen Ussery who directs traffic-to please help at those areas for LMI.
We need someone who can help park the buses at the Baptist Church. A parent of a varsity runner would work best because they can finish with the parking by 9:30 and get to watch their athlete race.
I’ve ask Irmo( our partner since the inception of the race) to provide a person for the bus parking as well as monitors for the course but I want to have back ups – just in case. I’ll have a better perspective on that early in the week.
To do a great job of monitoring the course we would need 12 monitors- the least we can get by on is 8. I’v they can help. If these other sources do not come through I will ask our supporters to help out on the monitoring- one of the worst things in a race is to have a poorly monitored course and runners go the wrong way.
Susan and Lisa have volunteered to handle t shirt sales , collection of checks for entry fee if any one decides to bring the check instead of mailing it, and take care of distribution of race numbers.
The Lake Murray Invitational course is different from our home course. CCP has had it certified and it goes around both the elementary and middle schools.
LMI attracts teams from all over the state and we usually have 35 or so teams- and it is a strong field as well- teams I know are coming include Riverside, Wade Hampton,,James Island,Summerville,Spartanburg, Eastside, Dutch Fork, River Bluff and Heathwood. Everything is done electronically in terms of registration etc so I won’t know whose coming until we download the data for race numbers Thursday night- these are teams whose coaches have told me they will be there.
Lastly Coach HInes and I were very proud of our runners this past Saturday at the Coaches Classic race. The 7 races had 3200 total runners combined! There was an hour delay due to lightning and we all had to sit on the bus then as the day progressed it got more humid and extremely hot. Every single runner maintained a positive attitude and gave their all in the races. Times were slow due to the heat and humidity but every runner achieved a goal for their great effort ,cooperation and exemplary behavior.
You can see the results on scrunners.com. We ran our varsity runners in the International Division that was mainly elite AAAA schools. In assessing our performance against AAA schools both the boys and girls were among the top AAA teams.
The Process Is the Goal
