Parents and Athletes please take a few minutes and read through the announcements for the week. Hopefully you are all enjoying some family time this spring break.

Please remember what we discussed Friday. Don’t let the last several weeks of practice go to waste by not doing something over break.
We are offering 2 days of practice this week for those that are in town (see below)
FOR THOSE OUT OF TOWN please see the <Spring Break Practices> link on the team website. There are 3 workouts for sprinters and distance runners each and we are hoping you will do at least 2 of them. https://bpetersen5.wixsite.com/rs-boys-track/spring-break-practices

Indoor Meets Recap
The guys that were able to compete last week had 2 awesome meets.
We are so excited about where we are at right now as a team but we have a long way to go.
I have included the Top 10 R-S Indoor Records so you can see who made the list this season. Again very excited about where we are at as a team.
PARENTS -
Now that we are to spring break and we know for sure who is out and who is not, I wanted to draw your attention to several things as parents/guardians of a team member.
Please save the Boys T&F Webpage someplace so you know how to get back to it. https://bpetersen5.wixsite.com/rs-boys-track
On this page you will find updated information like announcements, practice schedules, and meet schedule plus more..
The kids are on this page a lot because we post the practice schedules each day on here.
If you haven't signed up for our Track Team Remind please feel free to do so with the link here. https://d0597d60-304d-49a0-b6ef-a1f56222cfcb.filesusr.com/ugd/d44d13_b78c147314a44358945a3b7b16f4ade7.pdf
REMINDER - All parents are asked to sign up and work 2 concession shifts this season. The largest fundraiser the booster club does each season is concessions and our track equipment and uniforms is almost always purchased by our Booster Club.
I was asked this week via email about our JV schedule and I guess it didn’t occur to walk through the differences of track and other sports for some of our new parents. So sorry we have such a large group of freshmen I should have thought about this already.
We have a JV and Varsity track team but it is very difficult to find JV meets each season. Our goal is to try and get 6 scheduled JV meets but please realize that some schools limit participation so its not always possible.
The two guarantee meets that our kids will participate in our the two home meets we host. Every other meet we have to wait and see what is offered.
Guys will know what events they are in about 2-3 days prior to the meet. Sometimes we have to wait until a couple days before the meet to see what sort of meet limitations the host school has on participation.
To have so many kids out is a great problem to have but it isn't very fun not being able to get all of our kids into every meet. We love watching your kids compete so our goal is to try and get as many opportunities as possible.
If you ever have questions please feel free to email me at bpeteresen@roland-story.k12.ia.us
Thanks & Have A Great Week!
