Our season begins one week from today!
There's a lot of information posted below. Please contact coach Villeneuve if you have any questions or comments.
Practices held this include Monday and Thursday 6:00 pm at Hartman Park and Saturday 9:00 am at the watershed. The first official season practice is Monday August 20 at 3:00 pm, starting in the back gym. Subsequent practices are from 3-5 each afternoon, Monday through Friday.
The Community Run/Alumni Run/Team Time Trial is scheduled for Saturday August 25, 10 am at Hartman Park. Athletes need to be there by 9 am. Each athlete is asked to invite one person to register for, and participate in the race. The Community Run is our major fundraiser for the year, where we ask community members and alumni to make a donation to the program. Athletes are not asked or expected to donate.
Important Registration Dates: Online registration is now available and the Redmond HS Athletic office opens on August 13. All runners must be cleared by August 20, the first official day of practice. And, you must complete 8 practices to be eligible to run in the Jamboree, and 10 practices to participate in the first meet.
Ms. Showalter (Athletic Secretary) is in the office from 8:30 am to 3:00 pm and she can finalize your clearance. She needs a hardcopy of your Medical and Physical (if needed) forms. All new athletes and any returner athlete whose last physical was 2 or more years past need to provide the Physical Form. If you'd like, you can scan the completed forms and email them to her at nshowalter@lwsd.org
Our
Parent Night will be Thursday, Aug 30 at 7 pm in the RHS
Cafeteria. This is a very important (and short) meeting, so we ask that each
athlete have at least one parent/guardian present. Every parent is
automatically a member of the booster club and this will count as one of our
two required meetings to retain our tax-exempt status.
You can meet the coaches
and other parents, get information on practices, meets, pasta dinners,
uniforms, and t-shirts. All of your questions about the program can be
answered.
Also, you can add Thursday, September 6 from 6-8 pm to your
calendar for the RHS XC night at Super Jock N Jill in Redmond. 15% off
everything in the store, free pizza for the athletes, a few giveaways too.
Great chance to get training shoes, racing shoes, or running gear, if you need
it.
The team now has a Facebook page you can access at here.
