November 8-13

Our Eastbay trip has been set and approved and everything booked and paid for.  We are excited to give the team an opportunity to go on an out of state trip and compete at a big meet, and hopefully enjoy some good weather and activities in the process.  Those going need to get their fees paid ASAP and get the receipt to Coach Barnes.  Most of our contact about this trip will be on the team Eastbay groupme.

Practices are going to be held regularly and need to be a priority.  If an athlete misses the workout for whatever reason they will be expected to do that workout, or a similar one, on their own and log it so the coaches can see.  This is the coaches off-season and they are not getting paid to be at practice with athletes at this time, they are doing it to help athletes and out of the goodness of their hearts. Because of this, we expect athletes to do what they are asked to do and prepare themselves to do well in their races.  These trips are privilege and should be treated as such.

We are trying to solidify a date for our End of the Season Banquet. Right now it is set for November 17th at 6:00 p.m., because of the building schedule and what is open and available for us with other sports and activities.

Davis High has invited us to race at Barnes Park in Kaysville on Wednesday November 10th at 4:00 p.m..  If you are not able to make it to the race then you will be given a alternate workout to do instead.  We hope most of you can arrange to be there.

We are having issues with athletes and their Strava!  Some athletes are treating it as a social media account and have way too many people, some of which should not be following them or they do not know, following them.  We keep asking athletes to clean up their Strava and eliminate those followers, but many are failing to do it.  The purpose of us using Strava is not to see how many followers you can get or kudos after a run, it is so athletes can log and keep track of training and so coaches and current teammates can keep track of them as well.  If we continue to see athletes from other schools following our athletes, or random people who no one really knows, or it abused as a social media type account, we will make a rule that athletes will no longer be allowed to use it while on the team.  Also, many athletes are failing to log mileage on Strava or anywhere else and this should be rectified.  Coaches should be able to see all of your runs anytime.
