Excellent job by everyone at the first indoor track meet. Keep up the hard work, and you will continue to see yourselves get stronger and faster!

Team sweatshirts are $32 without a name, and $34 with athlete’s name embroidered on. They are gray with navy blue print. T-shirts are $12 each with the team logo on the front and quote on the back. T-shirts are navy blue with light blue print.  Below is the design for the logo that will be on the front of  the sweatshirt and t-shirt. What will be printed on the sweatshirt and t-shirt is the letters and the track shoe with wings in navy and light blue. The background is the material of the shirt gray and navy. The color became obscured when posted on here for some reason. We encourage you to get the t-shirt to be worn as a team for warm-ups at the meets. There’s nothing like the feeling of being a part of a team and being a mob of blue warming up together!! It psychs you up and intimidates everyone else! Make checks payable to John Jay Track and Field and brought in by Thursday, December 9th.

The quote for the t-shirt is “No Sacrifice. No Victory.” In order to be successful at what you do whether it is track or academics, you need to make some sacrifices to reach your goals. Without sacrifices, it is not possible to win and be the best you can be.

The bus will depart Jay @ 2:15pm.. The meet starts at 4:30pm.. The bus will return around 11pm..Parents .. if you are picking up your athlete from the meet or if you are having some one else pick them up you must have the correct forms filled out and given to Coach Roth or Coach Lee.. Forms were given out at the parents meeting.More will be handed out to the athletes this week.

All parents please attend the Coaches meeting on Tuesday in the Cafeteria at 6:30pm..It is a great opportunity to meet the coaches and ask questions about our upcoming season.  Thank You

We are having practice on Wednesday and Saturday at 10am. Try and find a ride to practice because it is important to continue with the hard work and progress. If you can not make it because you are away, run on your own. A short run is better than no run! 20-30 minutes of running is better than nothing, and it will keep you on the path to get in good shape for the season.

Coach Roth and I would like to thank all our athletes for their dedication,focus and hard work this cross country season. You represented John Jay with tremendous energy. The journey that we undertake starts early in the heat of the summer and culminates in the frosty mornings of the fall . It is where we gather and chase the 3.1k dream.  Winter and Spring will come and go and the chase will begin again. Thank You for a great season..

We made $460.00 dollars at our Awards Diner Raffle .. I hope everyone had a great time.. Thank You
