URGENT:
ZUM called our Athletic Director tonight at 9:30pm and told him they can no longer do our drive to Manassas tomorrow.
I would still like to attend the meet and I am willing to carpool with anyone else that is willing to Carpool.
We will need drivers (Athletes/Parents/Coaches).
The drive is about an hour and we can caravan to the meet.
We can still go get dinner.
I still want all athletes to meet at Reservoir at 8:00am so we can get you into cars.
If you can drive, please arrive at 8:00am so we can figure out how many athletes we can get to the meet.
I want to make this happen.
FYI: With Coach Gessler, Coach Laura and myself driving, we are up to 13 athletes. We only need a few more drivers!
Good Evening,
As many of you have heard, the team trip to New York was cancelled due to the State of Emergency in New York. Flooding, heavy rains, loss of power, etc.
Everyone is truly bummed, disappointed, mad, frustrated, upset, etc. I am most of all! These trips are the absolute best! However, I am happy to announce that we have a PLAN B. After a number of phone calls, lots of begging, and every favor I had available, we are able to take the kids to an awesome meet… JUST AN HOUR AWAY! We were able to negotiate payment, entries, dinner, etc.!
On top of that, the hotel understood the state of emergency and cancelled our reservation with no cost! The bus company simply floated our bus fee to the New York Trip that we are planning for January during indoor track. In other words, everyone will get their money back. I did send checks and cash home today with the students. If you paid via the Online payment system, you will be refunded the full $150, less the service fee.
Zum may not be able to get our athletes to and from school on time, or fulfill the contract when it comes to sports teams, but on a last minute-Saturday trip to Manassas, VA, they were able to accommodate (I HOPE THEY SHOW UP TOMORROW)! So that means no bus fee to worry about.
Here is the plan:
- Arrive at Reservoir by 8:00am. We will need help with loading the bus. Please arrive by 8:00am.
- Bus will depart NLT 8:15am.
- Arrive at Bull Run Regional Park in Manassas, Virginia. 9:30am
- Coaches Meeting/Course Walk: 9:30am.
- Our First race: either 11:50am or 12:30pm
- Our Last race: 2:20pm
- Depart Course: 3:30pm
- We will go to Glory Days Restaurant in Centreville, Va. Here is the website with the menu. Please review the menu and let us know if there is any concerns with your athlete selecting their dinner from this menu. Please note there are three PDF menus: Menu with pricing, Gluten Free Menu and Daily Specials: https://www.glorydaysgrill.com/locations/virginia/centreville/?locid=8
- After dinner we will head home. We aim to be home between 5:30pm – 6:30pm.
