Dear Parents -
I know many of you are receiving this and your daughter is not going on
the Cary, NC XC trip, but I thought you may be interested to hear all
the details (perhaps it will inspire your daughter to work towards going
on the trip next season!! :) )
Here is what Buz sent to the boys and their parents:
Subject: Info for Cary NC Trip, 9/30-10/1, 2011
Hello Patriots,
Sorry that this info is coming to you later than usual. Cathy and
I have been waiting to hear what portion of the trip expenses will be
paid by the athletic department. I am attaching a travel permission slip
that I would like you to sign by Friday.
So, here's the scoop:
We are taking 12 boys and 12 girls for this meet which will be one of the
best on the East Coast this weekend, drawing teams from Florida, Mass.,
New Hampshire, W. Va., Ky., California and many East Coast schools. It
will be the most competitive meet until we return for the Nike Meet on
11/26.
Boys and Girls are excused from class after 1st Block (10:25am) and we
will depart asap from the Field House. We would
like for the athletes to dress in their running clothes as we are
driving straight to the course. We will stop after 2 hours driving
(around Chatham, Va.) to eat and let the boys and girls stretch their
legs. We will try to be on the course around 3pm.
Then we drive to hotel to shower and change for dinner. We will make
dinner reservations to eat by 6pm at the latest and then back to hotel
for team meeting and then early to bed.
Comfort Suites Cary on 350 Ashville Ave. Cary, 27518 (919-852-4318).
Ist race on Saturday will be the Boys RACE of CHAMPIONS @ 10:40am. The
top 7 boys will eat breakfast at the hotel (free breakfast) by 7am and
will leave the hotel between 8-8:15am, depending on weather. We will try
to get a "late checkout" and that will determine whether we checkout
before we leave or on return after the race.
Varsity Girls will RACE @ 11:45AM (GIRLS SEEDED), leaving the hotel at 9
am. Our remaining 5 boys will race at 12:10pm. They will leave hotel
about 9:45am. Girls JV will race at 12:30pm, leaving the hotel at 9:45
am. Awards are given after each race and not at the end like a t Nike.
After all races we will decide whether we want to eat lunch together or
return separately.
Each athlete only needs to bring enough money for Friday lunch, Friday
dinner, and Sat. lunch and possibly a t-shirt. The athletic department
is paying for the 2 rental vans and half of the entry fee. We will pay
for the rooms from the xc boosters account and assess our financial
situation after the Invitational. We should be ok. Cathy and I requested
$600 for the hotel rooms but so far no success on that. We know we will
have to pay for the Nike meet rooms so we were hoping to get some help
with these rooms.
If there are questions please email or call.
Have to say we are all pretty excited for this trip and race. Buz/Cathy
