    We WILL NOT stop for food on our return trip this week

Athletes:

• • Wear your racing uniforms

    • SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS FOR COMPRESSION GEAR WORN UNDER THE UNIFORM: Compression shorts, if worn, MUST be the same BLUE as our school color (ROYAL BLUE) and stop above the knee. Compression shirts may be short or long sleeve (though I recommend no compression shirts unless the weather is exceptionally cold) but MUST be WHITE . If a logo is visible on either piece of apparel, it must be Under Armour.

  • Wear your team gear (if you did not order any, you must wear Under Armour clothing to warm up in; do not show up in just your uniform).

  • Wear your training shoes. No flip-flops until after you've cooled down.

  • Pack your racing spikes. These should not be your primary shoes for the course walk and warmup/cooldown; these are only to be worn during the race.

  • Everyone must pitch in during set-up and/or take-down in regards to the tent, tarp, etc.

Additional Important Details

• • The distance for this course is 3 miles.

  • Parents and relatives are encouraged to attend. However, until your son has raced and cooled down he must remain with the team. This is non-negotiable. Coach Puffett must remain aware of each athlete's location until either he dismisses them to leave with their guardian or until arrival back at DeMatha.

  • Parents will receive an email from SignupGenius to volunteer to bring food and drinks for the boys. These items should be dropped off at the school with your son on Saturday morning.

  • Athletes will be told to call/text their ride when we leave Edgewater. I will also send an alert via Remind when we leave.

  • The forecast calls for rain! I am still awaiting delivery of our new team tent as the last one broke during the track season. I encourage everyone to dress appropriately. If you did not order warmups through the team store, wear something warm, ideally with an Under Armour logo. We will have access to the bus if needed. Additionally, if they have to cancel the meet, I will notify everyone in advance via Remind.

If you have any questions, contact coach directly.
