Midterms Week and SECTIONALS!!

This week will be a busy one for all of you with midterms starting up tomorrow.  Please keep in close communication with your events coaches and with me about schedule conflicts and to know when your practices are being held.  Distance will stay at 3 pm, but other groups may go at different times.  

This Friday is a big meet called the NJ State Sectional meet, specifically the Central Jersey Group 2 Sectional.  If we are healthy enough (which is a big question right now) we have a chance to score and place very well in this meet.  To score points, you must finish in the Top 6 in an event.  We stand a very good chance to place in (and maybe win!) several events:  high jump, shot put, pole vault, 800, 1600, and 55 hurdles for sure and maybe others.  

Also, Sectionals is a "qualifying" meet.  Any of those athletes who place in the Top 6 for their event automatically qualify for the State Group 2 meet on February 15.  Those that do not qualify still have one more meet, called the "Last Chance Meet," on February 12.  Below is our lineup for Friday:

Bus Time:  2:00 pm

Meet Time:  3:45 pm

Location:  The Bubble

High Jump:  Megan, Dakota, Hope

Snow Day and Meet Information!

I hope everyone got home safely today and I hope you enjoy the day off tomorrow!  I am sure there are plenty of questions so I will outline some info here, now, but definitely contact me directly if I miss something...

First off, the throwers meets for Tuesday and Wednesday ... I know today's was postponed until Thursday so we will likely not compete in that one.  As for Wednesday, and details about today's meet, throwers should check in with Coach Colonna - in fact he probably already reached out to you all.

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 22

No school - no practice.

Bubble practice cancelled, too.

Try to be active in some way on your own - lift, pushups, core, abs, treadmill, etc.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 23

Meet:  Frosh-Novice Meet

Location: the Bubble

Bus Time:  2:45 pm

First Events: 4:30 pm

*** We will work out the lineup of events together, on the bus to the meet.  There are not a lot of events to pick from so it'll pretty easy to figure out.  In a couple of cases, coaches want/need to get certain athletes into certain events, but otherwise there will be more input from your end.
