Good morning,
What a wonderful day we enjoyed yesterday!! Thanks to all of the parents who came to support their athlete(s) in a fun day of competition. And thank you to our Booster Club and parents for providing a memorable senior night for our girls!

No practice today due to the school shutting down for the weekend. We will see you all on Monday. I’ll be sending out information regarding EPC Leagues and Districts this weekend, detailing out how it works as best I can. It’s different this year, so we want to make sure everyone understands the challenges.

Enjoy the sun today, get some fresh air and vitamin D, and rest up for next week!

Blue mountain can’t compete today, so we are making the best out of it, and will hold an inter squad meet. We will add in ALL of our athletes and have some fun, hopefully getting some best times/marks. Times/marks will not be official, however, we will use them as we are making decisions for future meets. Snack bar remains open, because they have everything there for SENIOR night for our girls, which we will still be holding!

Sprinters and Hurdlers arrive 2:30pm for screens
Distance and Pole Vault arrives 2:40 pm for screens
Throwers, Jumpers, and Development 2:50pm for screens
Meet begins at 3:30 pm

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

Families are still welcome to come spectate for this historic event, that we will run as smoothly as we can, following COVID guidelines as usual!

Yes, the weather looks threatening, but as of now, it looks like we should still have the opportunity to compete again today! Here are adjusted arrival times, which we realize may make things a bit more chaotic, however it will give the weather a bit more time to settle down. Typically, athletes are sitting around anyway for about a half hour. Athletes will need to get there and get moving/ready asap:

Sprinters and Hurdlers arrive 2:30pm for screens
Distance and Pole Vault arrives 2:40 pm for screens
Throwers, Jumpers, and Development 2:50pm for screens
Meet begins at 3:30 pm

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

Please give a warm welcome to Whitehall High School athletes and staff, and assist them as needed!

Again, family members are welcomed to come as spectators, and all spectators must wear masks at all times! Student athletes are also to wear mask at all times, as usual. It takes a village to keep us moving forward, so thank you for your understanding!

See you soon!
Coach Kami

Emails were sent tonight with final final entries and bus vs self commute list. This is our first venture to Hazleton, and Monday will be our first venture to Pottsville! There will be 2 heats of the laned events, as these leagues run their meets this way. So you’ll note we are taking advantage of those opportunities.

Please refer to the top 10 list of how to have a successful meet, with all your questions answered in the emails sent!

Work hard, be prepared, and have fun!

In “normal” years, athletes stay for the entire meet, when home or away. However, due to COVID, we are permitting athletes to leave the meet when he/she is done in his/her events. When meets are at home, simply let your event coach know you are leaving early. When we are away, a parent must sign out an athlete in order to leave the meet.

Continue to stay hydrated, foam roll, stretch, and fuel your body with easily digestible foods for optimal performance! Again, please give a warm welcome to Allentown Central Catholic’s team, and help guide them as needed! Please remember to sanitize hands/wash hands after touching equipment, follow cleaning protocol after using relay batons. Let’s be as safe as possible to get through our season….
