Dear Runners and Parents, Practice was tougher this last week due to the weather and getting re-acclimated to school. Athletes need to remember to eat healthy and drink lots of water. They also might need to eat more than usual with their higher volume of work with practice and school. Icing and rolling a couple days of week are great ways to stay healthy. I know there are days when kids need to leave a little early, but this can lead to injury if they are not cooling down and stretching properly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ TEAM FEE In lieu of having a Fundraiser where students are selling items or hitting up family we ask for a team fee of $75. Many of you added that to your spirit wear order. If you didn't order anything please send a check or cash for $75 to help support the team. Checks can be made out to Hartland Athletics. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Schedule/Milford Invite Thursday we are racing in the Milford Invite. I must have entries submitted by 7:00pm Tuesday night. We get charged extra for any unused BIB. PLEASE fill out the Absence Form ASAP if you can't race. My goal is for everyone to race, but I know there are a couple injuries and other things that may prevent someone from racing. Everyone that can race will be able to. I just need to submit correct entries. Please click the link for all schedule information, including bus times, race times, and directions.
