There are several things to note as we come into our last week as a full track team, and the last week of school. This is the last week we will be together completely as a team, and as school ends there are a lot of things competing for our attention, so let’s stay sharp!
Practice Wednesday, May 26 will start at 6:30pm (there is a soccer game on the field earlier). This will be a relatively short practice, a bit of a shake out before our last league meet at Cupertino. Your individual event group MAY decide to come earlier, talk to your coach, we just cannot be on the track or the stadium area while the game is going on.
We will have our last league meet at Cupertino on Thursday starting at 3:30pm. You will be released from class at 1:30pm, and you must have your own transportation to Cupertino. There is a meet sheet downloadable here.
There will be a SCVAL meet on Saturday at Los Gatos. You must have one of the top 15 marks in the league to compete; there will be alternates. We will have the final list of entrants on Friday. If you want to compete and think you qualify, please see your coach this week to be sure you are entered and that you are in the right events at Cupertino to give you the best chance at qualifying. The schedule for the meet is posted.
There are no spectators allowed for the SCVAL meet at Los Gatos, but athletes may volunteer to help with hurdles (and this will allow you to watch the meet while you move hurdles). See Coach Flatow if you are interested in helping. You would need to be at Los Gatos High School from 3:30pm until 7pm on Saturday, May 29.
The Awards Brunch will be Sunday, May 30, from 9am until noon. This event is ONLY for MVTF21 athletes and their families, MV students not on the team may not attend. Only three athletes were not able to attend so this should be a very fine event! There will be both active and restful games available starting at 9am…you may also bring board games or frisbees or other items if you would like. You might want to bring a blanket to sit on during the ceremony, too (and of course your water bottle). Games start at 9am, pastries and fruit served at ~10am, and the awards ceremony presentation will begin at ~10:30pm. (We will also have uniform return.)
Uniform return will be at the awards brunch. If you will be joining the cross country team in August 2021, please keep your uniform and return this form to Mrs. Flatow on Sunday. If you have qualified for the CCS semifinal meet, you should also keep your uniform. Everyone else, please wash your uniform and bring it with you to the Awards Brunch. If you have lost or damaged your uniform, there is a charge of $50 per item…please bring a check made out to MVASB with you.
