A little later start and end time... to allow travel time getting there. Parents/drivers, there's shopping and restaurants across the street, or consider a jog, walk, or bike ride on the trails.

Team dinner the night before our SFL Meet.  Location TBD.  Boosters will be preparing and providing the meal for all of our athletes.

The only thing to bring is a lawn chair, so everyone has a place to sit down.

Hope y'all can make it!

Our first league meet of the season. We are in the SFL (Sierra Foothill League). There are 9 schools in our league... Davis, Del Oro, Folsom, Granite Bay, Jesuit, Oak Ridge, Rocklin, St. Francis, Whitney, (Jesuit is all-boys, and St. Francis is all-girls, so there are 8 teams per race).  The SFL has been considered one of the toughest in the entire state. So even though this meet has fewer schools than any of our invitationals, the level of competition is more difficult.

The race schedule for this meet is unique in that traditionally this meet would start at 5pm.  The meet will be in the morning, and students will then go to school after the conclusion of the meet.

All Whitney runners are expected to be at this meet from 7:45am to 11:30am. This is one of our "non-negotiable" meets, meaning only emergency or major family event with prior approval will be excused.  This is the one and only contest that interferes with instructional time at school, and even at that is only half the day, so each student athlete on the team is expected to fully commit to the timeframe of this team event.  Arriving late or leaving early must be approved by the coaching staff.

All juniors and seniors run varsity.  For league meets, JV refers to freshmen and sophomores (and some juniors for certain reasons, like transfers), so all freshmen and sophomores run the JV races, except for a few runners we may move up to varsity.

○ 9:00 AM JV Girls (frosh/soph)
○ 9:25 AM JV Boys (frosh/soph)
○ 9:45 AM Varsity Girls
○ 10:25 AM Varsity Boys

After our varsity runners have completed cool down, there will be a team meeting at the tent.  We will take attendance at the meeting as everyone should be there.  Nobody should leave til camp is picked up and the area is clear.  By about 11:30am, our runners should be excused to clean up and head to school.  Our athletes are all cleared through the attendance office til 12:30pm.  

Gather at the basketball courts by the locker room doors. Moderate run.

Team meeting in the library at 5:30.

A day of no team practice. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't run 🙂
