TNHSXC - 9/7/14

Good Sunday evening TNHSXC family.  The kids performed really well Saturday night against a super fast field.  I'm attempting to attach four pdf's of results, but please remember to check ky.milesplit.com frequently following meets for quickest access to results.  There are some features that require a membership, but results are free.  Almost every runner dropped their season best time or established a strong first mark to go from - congrats to all the kids on an outstanding night of racing.  Now moving forward - 

Tuesday - Weeknight Warfare XC All-comers - we are hosting our first real meet of the year and the course looks great.  Tomorrow's practice will be an easy lap on the course then helping me get set up.  Tuesday night, we will need all hands on deck to help put the race on.  We have Coach Bradley from NCHS as our official and starter, his wife Lucretia as the Hytek operator, and me as the meet director/timer.  We will need help in the following areas (some of which I'm tentatively assigning people to (we like to have girls parents work the boys race and vice versa) - 

head coach - Coach Adams (kids go to him for numbers and anything else)
lead vehicle - Doc
trail vehicle - Kelvin (Eric the trainer will take the boys V race so you can watch Tyler)
finish line -
- back up timer ?
- chute workers - Dooley, Andrea and ???
- card hander outers - Pam and ???
- number writer downers - Jackie and ???
course marshals - ???
concessions - ???

This is the link I've sent to the ten schools  attending and I've pasted the top of it below   https://docs.google.com/a/nelson.kyschools.us/document/d/18TKkMBDHC_OSAfE2evzjgXSw6-2Hqcu1ClwodNy-QqU/edit

We do a really really good job putting on races and that is due entirely to the support of our TNHSXC family.  Please let me know what job you would like and I'll pencil you in.  Remember the more people that help, the more people get to relax and watch their own kid's race.  

Every TNHS runner needs to be there representing, so I'm not even listing a roster.  The competition for the top 7 varsity spots has become fierce, and we want to keep that going.  Remember that we are a team, do everything as a team and every member of our family cheers on every single kid.  This is OUR HOUSE and I want us to OWN IT.  

Wednesday, Sept. 10th - Popsicle Race #4 - hosted by Bethlehem, this race course is located next to St. Joe's.  I'll be heading over right after practice, will actually get to warm the kids up and coach a little, and I'll do the timing for them.  

Saturday, Sept. 13th - Iron Horse Festival 5k - we also host this race which is in its 11th year this year.  The kids get to race for free, but the $15-20 entry fees we collect from everyone else help fund our program.  Please encourage all of those friends and fellow runners to attend.  It will be the third 5k in the county in three weeks, but I think we can still expect a pretty good crowd.  We will again need a number of folks to help with registration and the finish line.  Anyone wishing to run or walk it should get to - just let me know who I can count on to work and I'll start assigning jobs.  

Thank you all for your continued support for our program.  The teams successes are a direct result of the positive environment that you foster.  

Matt
