State Open Info Part II

As you have heard by now, there is no school for the rest of the week.  Monday we'll resume classes.  Hopefully you have also heard that State Opens have been moved to Tuesday, November 8 at Hammonasset State Park.  The girls have made it to the Opens, but the boys have not.

Girls, we'll have practice on Friday.  I would like to hold it at 9AM on the track.  We will be done by 10:30.  If this is a problem, please let me know and if enough people have a problem, then we can adjust the time.  For the rest of the week, Thursday should be a 40 minute run while Saturday should be a five mile run.  Sunday should be around three to four miles.  

Information on the meet can be found at http://www.casciac.org/bcc.shtml

All I know about the course is that it is flat.  Check out results from the SCC championship meet at http://mysportsresults.com/Results/Results/SCC%20XC%20Girls%20Championship-20111020.htm.  Remember, this was after a heavy rain storm.

Enjoy your day.  Good luck getting power and I'll see you on Friday at 9AM.
