We had such a fun meet on Saturday and the kids are really working so hard! The Coaches have all given so much and we really appreciate you all!! This week we will need more volunteers as we are co-hosting. Please sigh up asap ! Storm is a very special team and after the past few years we have depleted our reserve funds, the schools have more than doubled in cost. We have found a way to help with this without adding an extra fundraiser. We have partnered with one of our families that will benefit you and the team! Please read below details, if you are interested!
I would like to recognize a few families that have gone above and beyond to help our meets get started The Calderon Family and the Woodward Family has been at the track early and helped set up and clean both days!! Jaime has used his truck to bring equipment over and then load it back after the meet! We could not do this great program without our volunteers!!
Please Sign Up to Volunteer This week we will have timing duties, data input, finish line, and the water table to manage Please make sure you sign up to help! We especial need trucks to help get the equipment over to the track at 6:30 am!

Ribbons Thursday - We will have the communication boxes out with the ribbons from Saturday! There will be boxes with a file for each family. Please pick them up at practice each week. It is best if parents come into the track to pick them up either before or during practice. Please report any missing ribbon
Saturday Meet- we will again be at Valencia High, and we are co-hosting with the Rush, We will also have A.V. Track Club and the Thimsha Tigers! This meet will be about the same size as last week
Warm Ups - The following athlete's need to pick up their warm ups at practice on Tuesday: Olivia Goynes, Kamden Mertens, Jon Marshall, Maya Smith, Lily Tatman, after Thursday they will be put in our storage unit, Please pick it up at practice, thank you
4X100 relay runners - If your child is in the 4x100 relay they MUST arrive at the meet by 8:30. to check in. It is very difficult to add your athletes even if they signed up for the event if they are late. It also will hurt the teams to make last minute changes. We really want to be putting our teams together on Thursday at practice so insure they have time to practice their hand off and position. Are teams for each A, B, C, ect... is put together based on 100 meter times and is very disappointing for the other athletes if their team mate does not show up on time other events are easy to change at the meet!! Please get them there on time.
Results for all meets can be found on our website under the "Track and Field " tab on top of the web site. We also will be updating results during the meet to livetrackresults.com! Our meet schedule is also on this page. we are a member of the Valley Youth Conference (VYC) You can find results for all the league teams on that web site valleyconference.com
All Storm records and top 10 is also under the track and field page
If you think there is a problem with any result please contact Alan by Sunday evening so he can review it. alan@runstorm.org Most issues can be reviewed and fixed if needed, but we need to make all changes by Monday to get the ribbons out in time.
