Saturday FIRST MEET @ Liberty - Stocksdale Park. Please see the directions posted on this site for the park. ALL meet spectators MUST pack at Schumacher Elementary school and take a shuttle bus to the park as there is not enough parking at the park for everyone. Please keep this in mind when you are planning your trip to the park. Also, it is an excellent idea to WEAR running shoes. Don't worry - we won't ask spectators to race but cross country races cover a large area of ground and it is a good idea to come prepared in tennis shoes- the grass is usually damp. It is also a good idea to wear or bring a jacket/sweatshirt/long-sleeved shirt as it is often cool in the morning when our first race starts. You can also bring camping chairs to sit in as you wait for your daughter's race to start but since Liberty requires riding a shuttle bus - I would hold off on the camping chair until our next race @ Bishop Miege. ALL athletes must be at school on Saturday morning at 6:00. Bus LEAVES @ 6:15!!! Yes, this is early but our 9th grade girls need to be at the course and ready by 7:00 so they can warm up properly.We WILL leave you if you are late!!! We also request that ALL athletes leave home football games at half time so they can go home and get to bed at a decent time. Please help us out and encourage your dauthers to be home by 9:00.
Athletes need to WEAR: the team uniforms and warm-ups and RUNNING SHOES (no flip flops until after you race), our team t-shirt (we expect these to be in by Wednesday) and a smile - get excited - this is what you have been working hard to achieve!! Please pack a bag that includes: socks and EXTRA socks so you have dry feet prior to your race, extra clothes to change into after you run- might want to pack some warm clothes as many athletes get chills after races; spikes (if you have them and want to run in them), water, your own snacks and Gatorade. Yes, you can warm up with an ipod but YOU ARE IN CHARGE OF IT! You are accountable for EVERYTHING you pack and bring to the meet - including your t-shirts, socks, uniforms and warm ups. If you misplace it - you will pay the fine for it! If you bring something from home and lose it - it is not the fault of your coaches!!!! Keep track of the things you bring and we will all be happy!
***Most races will also sell race t-shirts that usually run $10-$15. These are not mandatory to purchase but we know many of the athletes do purchase them - if you are interested, bring $$.
