Greetings Track Families,
I have heard rumors that there are some of you who do not read every word of the exciting weekly track newsletter. While I would never question your devotion, I will endeavor to keep it shorter this season. (I know: you'll believe it when you see it...)
Practices
We'll practice twice this week:
Parent Meeting Handouts Posted
For those unfortunates who missed the parent meeting, or who didn't get a handout since the Parent Meeting Handout Coordinator underestimated the turnout, all of the handouts are posted on the team web site under Handouts. Thank you for coming if you did make it.
Late Sign-Ups
We have 221 kids signed up at the moment. This number moves around a lot and we will still accept new sign-ups for another couple of weeks. Tell your friends, especially if they are speedy!
See you on the track,
carl

We'll practice twice this week:
- Tuesday, Feb 10, from 5pm to 5:50pm at College Park HS track
- Thursday, Feb 12, from 5pm to 5:50pm at College Park HS track
Remember to check the team web site after 4pm on practice days if it's rainy.
Coaches -- I will send you another email tomorrow evening about the workouts we've planned for the next few weeks. We're going to try some different things this season...
Running Shoes
...are HIGHLY recommended. We're seeing a number of kids who are wearing skateboard (not good) or basketball shoes (not as bad) to track. They should all be wearing running shoes. Local shoe stores such as Athletic Outpost in Walnut Creek, Fleet Feet in Pleasant Hill, and Roadrunner Sports in Concord will all give you 10% off if you tell them your child is on a track team. (Athletic Outpost's owner is Tim Ketron, one of our assistant coaches and the father of two kids on our team.)
For those unfortunates who missed the parent meeting, or who didn't get a handout since the Parent Meeting Handout Coordinator underestimated the turnout, all of the handouts are posted on the team web site under Handouts. Thank you for coming if you did make it.
For the old-timers, the main news is the DVC will be our home for all but three meets this season. (The Mini-Meet will be at College Park of course, and two of our other meets will be at Ygnacio Valley HS.) So you'll burn a lot less gas getting to track meets this season.
Meet Jobs
I've typed in all of the meet jobs you signed up for before the season began and I will be working with our volunteer coordinators to fill in the gaps with those who signed up late. I hope we'll have all of these posted soon.
Job Openings
There is a key team job that we could use more volunteers for:
If you are signed up for something else, we'll remove you from those jobs and fill them
with other parents. Ask me (at practice or via email or telephone) if you have questions. Filling this job with reliable people is among our most difficult challenges. While it doesn't sound particularly attractive right now, you'll be sitting pretty in the shade at meets if you volunteer for data entry!
Team Roster
The team roster is at [Ask Carl]. I have added new kids since last week and fixed a bunch of errors. Let me know if you find any mistakes. There is a second page called "Stastistics" that looks at the numbers in each group, by parish, and this week only, by T-shirt size.

Job Openings
There is a key team job that we could use more volunteers for:
Data Entry -- We type in results at the meets into Excel macros using 10-key pads. If you would like to help with, probably working three or four half-meet shifts, please let me know. This job would complete your whole volunteer requirement also.
