Spring Sports
Sunday April 22, Last Sunday Practice before the Bishop Meet
Sunday April 29, PECSAA Meet, Bishop McGuinness High School, 1:00 p.m.
(Sunday, May 6, PECSAA Meet RAIN DATE)
The PECSAA Meet is around the corner! We are hoping that you have saved this date as we will need most of our runners to be available. Please let Coach Klein know ASAP if your child CANNOT attend. Please also be aware that we can only enter one boy and one girl for each event (except relays).
Our goal is to maximize points by using the fastest runners first so there may be a few children in lower grades, that will be assigned as a back up runner. There are also several grades with too few children so we will ask those who don't have a race in their grade to run up a grade level to help us gain points.
All of the competing teams will be doing the same. Any event that we do not have a runner in, costs us points! We will give out race assignments for this meet the week after our Blue v/s Gold meet. We are in the process of assigning relay teams, so AGAIN, please notify Coach Klein ASAP if your child cannot attend, so we can assign events accordingly.
Jen Klein, Keith Rugh, Tara Hackman
