Dear
Storm Family,
This will be
the final
week of
practice for
all of the
kids who
compete this
weekend at
the Western
League Open
Final (April
30). The
coaches will
attend a
seeding
meeting
tomorrow for
the Western
League
Championship
meet (May 7)
and will
enter
athletes who
have met the
conference
qualifying
standard or
are in the
top 8 places
of the
event. In
some cases
an athlete
may choose
not to go to
the
WL-Championship
meet and in
that case
the next
athlete will
be asked and
so on until
all 8 spaces
are filled.
If an event
has more
than 8
athletes
qualified,
we will run
more than 1
heat, but
will only
accept the
qualified
athletes in
that event.
The league
will use the
top 20 list
to determine
who should
be advanced
into an
event.
Sub-Gremlins
do not go to
the Western
League
Championship
meet.
So your
coach may
ask if an
opportunity
comes would
your child
want to run
in the meet
on the 7th
instead of
this
weekend.

Volunteer
Opportunities
Attention
all Storm
Families:
Thank you to
all that
volunteered
this past
week, we
truly
appreciate
your time
and support!
I know that
it got hot,
and we had a
lot of
coaches and
volunteers
working the
meet. Many
working in
the
concession
stand, and
some working
as officials
at the field
events, Tom,
Zach and
Alan working
the timing,
to keep the
meet moving
forward.
This week
will be our
last regular
season meet,
So we want
the kids to
get the best
times, and
marks in
their
events, as
this will be
the last
time they
can qualify
for league
finals.
Please be
sure to sign
up and help
out by
working the
meet.
