Captains should be making arrangements for our annual BBQ .. This year we will have it at our Northern County Meet.. We are looking for a few parents to help with the grill cooking .. Please contact Coach Lee if your are available..Thank You

The schedule for the remaining 3 meets are: Please update your paper schedule that are hanging on your fridge.

10/23 – Coaches Invitational:…Lakeside Park

10/30 – Counties….Bowdoin Park

11/5 – State Qualifier….Lakeside Park

Update:

I have not heard a word from the district on bus transportation cost. So far the only meet which we have received a fee was Somers Invitational($450.00).

For the the three largest cross country meets at Pawling’s Lakeside Park
in the coming weeks, i.e., the Coaches Invitational 10/23, Section One
Qualifier 11/5 and the State Championships 11/13 only officials’
vehicles and team buses will be allowed in the park.

All spectator parking will be at Pawling High School where non-stop
spectator buses will transport to and from the Park.

(The trip is about two or three minutes and the wait is about 5-10
minutes, so spectators who arrive 15 minutes before their desired race
should have no worries about getting there in time. We did have a few
out of over 2000 who showed up at the last minute and were a little
panicky.)

Parking is $10 per vehicle regardless of the number of passengers and
this money will help offset the shuttle buses which are free to all. No
parking will be allowed on side streets without risk of being towed or
ticketed.
