Updated roster is attached at the bottom. Please review. We currently have 176 students who are part of our winter track club! A few need to turn in intramural consents or complete the consent you turned in.

Weather looks a bit unsettled the next 2 weeks. It is very likely we will be indoors this week, but please come prepared either way. We had 120 students at practice today. For our first indoor practice, the coaches were impressed with your cooperation. Thank you! Please keep it up and remember the “Circle of Trust,” as our school supports our program by allowing us to utilize hallways and indoors with large numbers of students.

Time trials Jingle Bell Relays and Cookies, will be held on Friday 12/20/19! I was able to get approved access to the aux gym after school, so we should be able to adequately measure speed, jumps/vault, and hurdles to some degree, even if the weather does not cooperate. The following events will be tested:
55/100 m
400m
800m
100/110 high hurdles (half stacked) – indoors only has high hurdles. We will test 300 hurdles at a later date
Long Jump/Broad Jump
Vertical Jump
Stair test (if indoors)
Shot Put/Jav/Discus per weather and Coach Petre

Ocean Breeze indoor meet permission slips are due THIS WEDNESDAY 12/11/19! Please bring with payment and drop off to Coach Susens room 418. DO NOT TURN IN WITHOUT PAYMENT. After I receive all, we will discuss event entries for each of you. So far, 13/52 have turned them in.

See you Wednesday!
Coach Kami

Bravo to you all for being so cooperative with such a large group of athletes. We had over 150 athletes participate in practice today, which is certainly a record. A few things:

1. Weight room – went fairly well today, except the GOLDEN RULE is to leave the weight room the same way it looked when you entered. All dumbbells and equipment must be placed back where it was located. Please be considerate as it has taken a long time for us to utilize the weight room again. We are gracious for the time we have, and want to take care of it.
**Weight room times are: Wednesdays 2:40-3:15pm and Fridays 4:30-5:15 pm. Whoever attended today on 12/4 should plan on attending after practice on Friday.

2. For Friday practice, please do not bring any forms or fees. Instead, place them in the box in Coach Susen’s room, 418.

3. Dress warm! You can always remove layers/hats/apparel if you get hot. Friday looks amazing, 47 degrees, but it is still cold.

4. Small item apparel will be for sale again on Friday, by our booster club table, items $5-20. Most items are $5, except hats and headbands. Great Christmas presents!

5. Please check the attached roster. If your name or grade is not correct or any issues, please remind text Coach Kami.

More to come and GREAT JOB today!

“Work hard, be prepared, and have fun!”

As much as I was hoping we would be able to start winter track on Monday 12/2, the weather does not look ideal, especially for travel reasons with no school. So, there will no NO PRACTICE on 12/2 and our first practice will be Wednesday 12/4.

Forms can still be turned into Coach Susens room 418, with booster club $. After your forms are received you will be placed on the winter track roster. Attached are names of students who have turned in forms.

Weightlifting will take place on Wednesday 12/4 immediately after school 2:30-3:15pm. Juniors, Seniors, ALL throwers and pole vaulters are eligible to begin weightlifting on this day. Additional students will be added in the weeks to come. The weightlifting schedule will continue through spring track in May.

If you get a message to switch remind groups, it’s due to # of participant restrictions placed now with remind. All messages will be sent out to all remind groups. It’s just a formality, sorry for any confusion or inconvenience.

The coaching staff looks forward to starting the season!
Coach Kami

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

No school Monday 12/2/19, but we will still hold winter track practice 2:45-4:30 pm for anyone who is able to attend. Dress warm as temperatures are looking cold. Attached is the current roster of students who have turned in intramural consent forms, and are eligible to practice next week. For those who have not, please bring along to practice on Monday, otherwise you will not be able to participate.

I had to create 2 reminds due to number of participant restrictions, so I may have to ask you to switch to our remind #2 group. If so, don’t worry, the same message will go out to both groups.

Enjoy your Thanksgiving break with your friends and family!

Coach Kami

We had a great turn out for winter track sign-ups!

Please turn in all paperwork (intramural form and data form)/Booster Club $15 in Coach Susen’s room 418. She also has additional forms in her room available for those who did not pick up today.

I will be reaching out to those students who turned in forms for the first meet, which will be held on Monday December 30, 2019 Ocean Breeze Holiday Invitational.

Of note, students do not have school on the first day of winter track practice on December 2, as it is after the Thanksgiving Holiday. We will still hold practice on Monday December 2, meeting in the sports center at 2:45 pm. Please make sure to have forms turned in by this date, or bring forms along that day.

Remember, winter track is a club, so if you can not make a practice, it’s ok.
