Mock Meet
On
Saturday
we
will
have
our
Mock
Meet,
we
use
this
time
to
show
the
kids
how
a
meet
goes
and
to
train
everyone
on
what
to
expect,
it
is
just
our
team,
we
won't
be
doing
the
3000
meter
runs,
but
will
try
to
get
all
other
events
as
much
as
we
can.
We
may
not
get
to
the
800
or
the
4x400
meter
relay.
We
will
try
to
get
to
as
many
events
as
we
can
in
the
time
allowed.
This
is
an
extended
practice
day.
8:00
am -
2:00
pm.
The
first
hour
is
setup,
the
final
tear
down.
We
will
try
to
limit
the
athletes
to
only
events
they
think
they
will
be
doing
in a
regular
meet.
That
would
mean
3
events
and
a
relay
limit
for
Bantam
through
Youth,
Sub-Gremlin
and
Gremlin
total
of 3
events
only,
and
Intermediates
and
older
up
to
4.
During
the
week,
the
kids
will
sign
up
for
their
events
with
their
coaches
on
what
events
they
will
be
doing.
Please
look
for
a
volunteer
sign
up
information
to
go
out
to
you
some
time
later
this
week.

Lap-a-thon
This Tuesday is our Lap-a-thon March 8, please try to arrive at 5:30 to pick up your chip. We will be using our chip timing system to count the laps.
We are excited about each and every athlete participating in the lap-a-thon.
On Tuesday March 8 during practice, athletes will run laps on the track for forty five minutes. This is a very fun event for the kids and an important fundraiser for our team. Money from this event keeps our registration fee low and helps us provide equipment for our training and meets.
This is a music-motivated event; singing along, running to the tempo! Oh WAIT! YOU'RE NOT A DISTANCE RUNNER NOT important! This is a fundraiser not a race ~ run or walk/dance, create an half hour-long relay team! Challenge yourself! Just recruit your donations accordingly! The more per athlete sponsors you get the more donations! There are 2 ways for sponsors to support our athletes, one is a per lap donation such as $5.00 per lap for you distance runners; the other is simply a flat donation of any amount, for example $20.00 or $30.00.
Our team will acknowledge those who raises the most funds and all participants in this event. A Grand Prize will be awarded to the top athlete who raise the most funds for the club.
If for some reason you are unable to participate the night of the event, families are encouraged to OPT OUT by giving a tax-deductible donation of $40.00 payable to the SCTC. This is our major team fundraiser and requires everybody's support.
The due date to turn in the funds is April 7, 2016. Flat donations can be turned in immediately. Prizes will be awarded based on the most funds raised and turned in by April 7, 2016. Funds will still be accepted after that date but won't count towards the grand prizes, but will go towards the Storm Lap-a-thon acknowledgement prize.
If you have any questions about this fund raiser please talk to Mark, Elaine or Tom O'Sullivan.
