Registered Athletes

Our varsity team at Wildcat will consist of Thomas, Langston, Dawson, James H, Jaiden, Hayward, Manuel, Steven, Tariq, and Ronald. We can make substitutions on meet day, so our alternates, in the event any of these athletes are unable to make it, will be Julius G, Gavin, and Ashby.

Everyone else will compete in the JV race.

Estimated Return to DeMatha

5:00pm (give or take depending on traffic)

   We WILL PLAN to stop for food on our return trip this week. In the past, we generally have stopped at Roy Rogers. We may have to select a new location with more options to accommodate all of the athletes we have this year. (In the event we elect not to stop for food, we will return closer to 4:00pm.)

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 or if yours has not arrived yet, 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 5 kilometers, the same distance as the Landon course. This is generally a faster course, though.

  • Parents and relatives are encouraged to attend. However, please plan for your son to remain with the team until we leave at approximately 2:45pm. We are a team and unless there are extenuating circumstances requiring you leave early, our varsity athletes should be supporting the JV athletes who run after them, just as the JV athletes support our varsity athletes who run first.

  • 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 Williamsport and when we leave the restaurant.

  • I will also send an alert via Remind when we leave.

  • The forecast calls for rain most of the week but partly sunny Friday and mostly sunny Saturday! Keep an eye on the forecast as we draw nearer to the meet so you can be prepared.
