Now this week is a busy week for our TEAM with two home track meets. Items of note for all of you: Tuesday 26th we are hosting a home quad track meet. Springville, Spanish Fork, and Juab will be at our place. This meet is for everyone on our TEAM. You are allowed to do up to four events and your event coaches will let you know what events they would like you to do. This will be the 2nd to last meet for our JV TEAM. With JV region on May 17th as the last one. Since this is a home meet with a start time of 3:30 there is no need to get out of class. Good luck to all of you in this meet. The second meet for our TEAM is our joint hosting of the Brandon Curtis Memorial Invitational with Springville High Schools this Saturday. We will need help in running this meet, if there are any parents who would like to help, or any members of our TEAM who are not competing in this meet, we can really use your help in order to smoothly run a meet of this size. If you are willing to help please contact Coach Wyatt, thanks. We are allowed 5 entries per event in this invite. The start time will be at 9:00am and the order of events will be posted later. Good luck to all of you at these meets this week.
Now TEAM one of our fundraisers is coming up. We have the opportunity to help work the BYU Invitational and the State Track Meet. All of our athletes that are not competing in these meets will work the meet. Buses will be provided for all athletes who are competing and working this meet. Other teams have their fundraisers as selling food, cookie dough, or cards, but we help BYU run their home meets. Please mark these dates on your calendar now. BYU Invite May 6th & 7th and the State Meet May 20th & 21st. Thank you for helping our TEAM raise the funds we need in order to help you and your TEAMmates achieve your best.
