Girl's XC Parent/Athlete Signup Meeting

Good evening,
On Tuesday, June 4, 2013 at 7:00pm there will be a MANDATORY meeting for all athletes and their parents regarding the 2013 Girl's Cross-Country Team. This meeting will be held in Cafeteria "A" and refreshments will be served. The reason for the evening signup meeting with parents is to facilitate the registration process by having all documents required for participation available and collected excluding the Physician's Medical Form that evening.
The meeting will last approximately one hour during which the following will be presented:
-Introduction of our Coaching Staff
-Introduction of our Captains
-Review of our summer schedule which will focus on Yoga, Weight Training, and Team Runs
-Recommendations for cross-training, hydration recommendations, heat exhaustion prevention,and nutrition recommendations
-Review of the Fall 2013 season in terms of competition calendar and expectations for team participation
Please note, that our official 1st team practice will be held on Wednesday, August 21, 2013 at 9:00 am. The team will meet at the fieldhouse on Rahway Ave.. This 1st team practice will last from 9:00am through 12:00pm. To participate in this opening practice ALL runners MUST have ALL registration materials filed with the Athletic Office no later than August 14th inclusive of an updated physical examination.
The 2013 Cross-Country Season has the potential for being one of our most successful to date given the outstanding performances of many our returning athletes from the winter and spring seasons.It is my hope that Team 2013 will repeat its strong performances of 2012 and set their sights on returning the County and Sectional Championships to Westfield,successfully defend our JV State Championship,and step to the line at the Meet of Champions.
If you have any questions please contact Coach Hornish at thornish@westfieldnjk12.org

Thank you Blue Devil parents!

Thank you once again for the tremendous support by the parents of the WHS Blue Devils! What an incredible crew of shoppers and volunteers! Thank you also to our parent community for the donations of drinks and baked goods. We ran out of food and we know it was greatly appreciated by all the runners and their supporters.

What did we sell? We estimate about 470 Hot Dogs, 300 bowls of Ziti, 200 pretzels, 320 pieces of pizza, 118 bagels, and 72 donuts. We believe we sold about 200 cups of coffee/hot chocolate, and went through 4 quarts of half and half, 1500 napkins and for those who saw our dessert table (and concession counters) mountains of baked goods.

Your tremendous donations of drinks mean we don’t need as much for the upcoming Union County relays in two weeks.

Once again, thank you to our four shoppers, pasta cooks, bakers, those who donated drinks, and the dozens of volunteers who manned the concession stand, the dessert table and the t-shirt tent. You are the best crew in recent memory!!

All our best –
Anne Stocking and crew
