2016 Season: That's All Folks
We had our last meet last weekend. Our team garnered a few firsts, a lot of personal bests, and one meet record! Congratulations to all who competed in the Diocese meet and to all our athletes who worked hard and improved over the course of the season.

Results from the meet will be posted at the Oakland diocese web site at some point. When they are, I'll try to import them to Athletic.net to keep the kids' statistics complete.

The team provides cold drinks and hot charcoal grills: you bring something to grill for your family and something to share with the team. Salads, fruit -- picnic fare, nothing fancy.
Picnic is from around 11:30-3:00 on Saturday May 28 at Pleasant Hill Park. We should have the fires hot by noonish, and we'll start awards around 1:00pm. Note that there are awards for Sportsmanship, Team Spirit, Effort, etc. in addition to performance-based awards. We'd like to see all athletes and families at the picnic. Some awards are more likely to go to athletes who are known to be attending, so RSVP!
There are also many unclaimed ribbons and medals from past meets and two lost & found team sweatshirts that will be available at the picnic.
If you can't make it but a friend or classmate will, please have them check for any ribbons or awards for your athlete. Unclaimed awards wind up in a box on my front porch for a while this summer.
Track Shoe Amnesty Program
If you borrowed a pair of track shoes/spikes from the team this season and they are still in wearable condition, you can bring them to the picnic to drop off. If you happen to have outgrown pairs littering the closet floor, the team is happy to accept donations for future seasons. Thank you!
Off-Season Events
Pleasant Hill hosts a 5K "fun run" the morning of the Fourth of July, and you'll see good turnout from CYO coaches and athletes there. It's a loop around the downtown area, and then you're in a perfect spot to see the parade.
CYO cross-country starts up in August. It's low-key and lots of fun, with meets held along marked trails in local parks. I hear there are often popsicles. Expect email about this program later in the summer.
Volunteers for 2017
Coming back to track next season? We have a few critical openings for team-level jobs to help with general administration. And I've added a signup for coaches. Please sign-up if you can help.

Working a team job or coaching fulfills your volunteer obligations for the team.

On behalf of the coaches, thank you for helping us make this a successful season! We appreciate the sacrifices you've made working the meets and supporting the team. We take pride in seeing your children grow and improve, and will gladly take credit for their future successes. I hope CYO was a good experience for them, and that they had fun. If so, we could use some word-of-mouth advertising so we can field more relays next post-season!
Hope to see you all at the picnic.
