IMPORANT: All athletes need to know their heat and lane number.
The meet is schedule to end late. We plan to return back to Reservoir between 11:00pm – 11:30pm. We will call when we are approximately 30 minutes from school. Athletes will be permitted to get into the school to get their belongings, but they will not be permitted to wait indoors. All Coaches will depart the school grounds approximately 15 minutes after we arrive to the school.
I understand the inconvenience and even the concerns about the late night, but this is an opportunity for the kids to compete and I hope they make the most of it. Good News is no one has any official team obligations on Saturday. Hopefully they can sleep in and catch up on their sleep.
All athletes will eat lunch at school prior to departure.
If you are in 1st, 2nd or 3rd lunch you should have no issues. You will just depart from your 4th period class at 12:30pm.
If you are in 4th lunch, you need to eat right away because at 12:30pm you are heading to the bus. Ask your 4th period teacher if you can leave a few minutes early to get to the front of the line. You have about 15 minutes to get food and then get out to the bus. You can also bring food and eat on the bus if that is more convenient.
Be sure to check in with your 4th period, 5th period and 6th period teachers tomorrow before you depart. Go see them before school! Get any missing work you are going to miss!
Finally, there will be a food truck available to the athletes while at the meet on Friday. I am not sure what will be served. My suggestion is to back a bag of snacks and drinks. I plan to bring a cooler of waters, Gatorades, and a few snack items. But please do not rely on only these items.
Let’s have a great meet! Go Gators!
