Hope
everyone got home safe after school today. There's no school and therefore no practice tomorrow, so I wanted to make sure everyone knows the schedule and other important information for this weekend's meets.
Saturday
– dual meet for everyone at Wheaton College vs. Norton. You need to be at the
high school at 1:45, the buses leave at 2PM. We’ll get there at 3, meet goes
from 4-6, should be back by 7 PM. I posted the lineup outside Coach Moreau’s
office today, but for those of you who did not see it and want to know your
event(s), send me an e-mail at kelleymic@holliston.k12.ma.us.
Wheaton
College is a bigger facility than our gym, the oval is 200 meters (ours is 130
meters), and the hurdles and dash use a full 55 meters as opposed to 45 yards
at our track. This is a great opportunity for you to set personal records or qualify for States,
since it’s a faster track.
Sunday
– for those of you competing in the Freshman/Sophomore Meet at the Reggie
Lewis Center in Boston, be at the high
school at 7:30, we’ll leave at 7:45 and get there around 8:40. Here’s an
estimated schedule.
*For
running events, the slower heats go before the faster ones.
9:15 Check-in for mile, as well as high jump.
All athletes need to get their spikes checked, I’d do this right when they
start so you don’t need to do it later.
9:30 High Jump starts (Ward)
9:30-10:05 Girls Mile (Meltzer, Datz)
10:05-10:40 Boys Mile (St. George)
10:40-10:55 Girls 300 (Foster)
10:55-11:05 Boys 300 (Zanghi)
Hurdles (Ghelli)
and Dash (Dolan, Guccione, Ratcliffe)…starts on the “infield” (inside the oval)
after the high jump is complete. At the earliest this will be 11:00.
11:05-11:25 Girls 600 (Snow)
11:25-11:40 Boys 600
11:40-11:55 Girls 1000 (Mejia, DesRochers)
11:55-12:10 Boys 1000
12:10-12:45 Girls 2 Mile (Meltzer)
12:45-1:10 Boys 2 Mile…this assumes each 2 mile has
two heats per gender, but it may be one each if there’s enough scratches.
1:10-1:25 Girls 4x200
1:25-1:35 Boys 4x200
1:35-1:55 Girls 4x400 (Snow, Guccione, Bagley, Ward)
2:15 Depart Reggie Lewis Center
3:00 Arrive at Holliston HS
If
your parents are planning on watching you compete, I’d recommend they arrive no
less than 45 minutes ahead of the scheduled start of your event. They changed the check-in procedure this year, so you don't spend forever sitting in the gymnasium waiting for your event to be clerked like previous years. From what I've heard, they clerk a lot more of the people on the infield.
For
invitational meets, you can leave if you have an early event, and your parents
are the ones driving you home.
You
do not need to bring your race number to
the Freshman/Sophomore Meet, they have numbers specifically for this meet that
they’ll give to you at the start of the meet. But you do need your team uniform, of course.
You
CAN wear spikes at BOTH Wheaton College and the Reggie Lewis Center.
