REGIONALS - URGENT

Posted by Arizona Cheetahs at Jun 17, 2018 5:00PM PDT ( 0 Comments )
If you have not let me know that you are not going to Regionals in Colorado, please do so ASAP so that I can reorganize relays, etc.  PLEASE NOTE THAT JUST BECAUSE YOUR CHILD RAN ON A RELAY IN STATE DOES NOT GUARANTEE THEM A RELAY SPOT AT REGIONALS.  I have addressed this in emails, paperwork and in parent meetings.  Some athletes were given a chance to make it in their individual events and we must run the absolute fastest 4 available on each relay. I will be sending that information as to who will run after I know who will be going and who is not.

IF YOU HAVE NOT DONE SO ALREADY PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU WILL RIDE THE BUS TODAY.  I AM OPENING IT UP FOR OTHER TEAMS TOMORROW.

BOOK YOUR ROOM - We are staying at the Embassy Suites, 10250 East Costilla Avenue, Centennial, CO 80112.

Room rate is $99 for King rooms and $110 for Double rooms. Each room has a sofa sleeper, made to order breakfast and complimentary drinks each night. Please use the link below to book your room. If you want a room mate, let me know.

Group code: EST can be called in to 1-303-792-0433 to make reservations as well. 

?CORRECTED DEADLINE FOR GROUP IS 6/22/18.

JO MEET INFORMATION

Posted by Arizona Cheetahs at Jun 13, 2018 5:00PM PDT ( 0 Comments )
Final Updates - There are some important items to discuss about the upcoming Junior Olympic Stae Championship being held June 16 &17 at Mesa Community College. No Friday set up. Gates open at 5:30am.  I will get there and try to secure our spots like at the last meet.  If you can get there to help me please do.  I recommend bringing tarps to keep any dust rain or winds outside of the tents.

1. Weather: If it rains we will compete. If it is sunny and hot we will compete. Unless there is an unsafe condition we will compete. If we get lightening we will have to stop the meet and wait until no lightening is present in the area. PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE. After it is safe the meet will continue.  There is a set protocol we must follow from USATF and Mesa Community College. Please come prepared. Stay hydrated - kids, parents & spectators. Most of our medical emergencies in previous seasons have come from spectators.

2. There are areas flagged off. Please DO NOT walk across the flagged off areas for javelin, discus, and hammer. Discus will be out of the East ring due to safety reason. 

3. Volunteers are always needed.  Please volunteer if available. There will be a sign up sheet at registration area with assignments.  PLEASE NOTE THAT CLERKING IS OUR PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITY.  The more help there is the faster the meet can be over.

4. The meet starts at 7am so please be on time and ready to compete at 7am if you are one of the first competitors listed in a field event or running event. First call will be 6:30am. Teams and volunteers please be ready in your assigned area to get things going by 6:30am.

5. No parents area allowed on the field. All coaches should be in their coaches box with their credentials or off the field of competition. There are certain sections flagged off for safety. Please do not go across these sectors.

Then again on Sunday morning at 7am.  This meet will move faster as there are no masters and the 5 and 6 year olds are no longer competing.
 

PLEASE NOTE: Those placing 1st - 4th will qualify to compete at Regionals in Denver, CO.  Please see email to book your room.  Still trying to see who is interested in riding the bus.  Please respond YES with number of seats or NO.  The bus is $150 per person.  I estimate gas roundtrip to be about $600 for an SUV.  If flying, you will purchase a ticket for $160 - $300 per person plus car rental.

If your child is travelling along to Regionals, the cost is $250.  Please make sure you let me know ASAP if you child is travelling alone.

PLEASE WEAR YOUR NEW UNIFORM ONLY and your T-Shirt. Everyone should be in red and black, including your undergarments if they are showing.  If you have on undergarments that show please make sure they are red or black.
