Final Regular Season Meet Battle for District Champs spots.
*As we as coaches prepare for the championships – We will allow athletes to have some control
over their place into the meet. It will help us make our decision easier.
*The field events
are easy – you will be judges on your best performance.
*The sprinting is harder because there is a mix of hand
time and FAT (Fully Automatic Timing), luck for us this Wednesday’s meet is FAT. So, whoever wins – will get spot
even if some had a faster hand time. Head-to-head matchups win over season performances. The rankings will help us make selection
for the relay’s teams to Regional and State championship. We can carry 8 to Regional and 6 to States.
The meet director usually sends
out an estimated
time schedule – I will post on the page.
All
athletes and coaches attending the meet will need to do their daily health
check-in online like we do for practices by 7:30AM.
I need to send this list to the host school.
If, you are not checked in – you will not be on
the list submitted to enter the venue.
Reminder:
Mask on at all times except when competing.
If any athlete is driving to meet – they must complete
the online – check-in before 730AM.
They cannot enter
the meet without the team – so
you will have to wait for the team.
Spectators are allowed at the meet up to 500.
The meet will not be live stream

all the races and will have them posted on you tube and provide link to the
team. Only team members will have access to the link.

athletic trainers - everyone who is not a field event athletes will need to be pre-screen at Marshall even if you are driving
to the meet.
All field event athletes will be screened by a Marshall Coach (probably me) at Falls Church HS before entering the
meet on Saturday. They need to arrive by 10AM at Falls Church HS.
4x800m athletes will be pre-screen by Coach General
or Coach Haugh on Friday at Falls Church HS.
The weather is better than expected however - everyone still needs to bring
a jacket/coat to stay warm until they have to compete.
Thank you for your understanding.
Please contact Coach Wong with any questions.
Good Day. If we have practice
on Wednesday February 3rd (Right now 8:30AM - the school grounds are open).
So, the sprinters will practice at 330PM not 503pm or 730pm.
Reminder, only athletes competing at District championship will continue to practice for all groups.

Attached is the meet program that includes field events as well as the meet program by school so you can let your kids know
what section and lane they are in. Again I will need adult (coach) help at the field events.
Below is the revised Time schedule, I’m debating about using blocks for 55H and 55D only all other sprint event no blocks.
I changed one thing and that is the Girls shot will go first followed by the boys.
Please excuse the event order, I usually have field events first followed by running but I set up the original meet with no
intention on running the 55D as well as HJ and Shot so those events are at the end of the list.
See you all Saturday, I should be on the track by 9:00 for those that like to get here early.

Injured athletes were excused from competing
as requirement
If,
they were in good standing before getting injured

The
District Championship Team and entries to
the last two meets will be selected from this list.
So, it is very important that you show up to
practice this week and next week
If,
you are not interested in competing this
weekend and at District then you do not have to attend practice going forward.
Please turn in any uniform or equipment
borrowed to Coach Wong
You
can
put it in a bag with your name and drop it off to activities office
Or, bring
it to practice in a bag and give to one of the coaches.
Any athlete
who were left off the list and feel it was incorrect needs to compete me before
the end of the week.
I
will not accept any explanation after the District
team is set.

TJMS - Points of
Emphasis
The facility opens at 5:00PM
Limited PARKING at the site and restrict parking in the neighborhood.
Athletes need to stay in the facility, no
going to 7-11 or leaving the facility.
Shot
put will behind the start line and the bleachers on the far end.
The meet is electronically timed, athletes will need hip numbers except
for JV 55m dash.
Hip numbers
will be issued at the check-in area by the 55m dash start line. We probably will be issuing our own hip numbers - so
check with me at the meet.
JV
Athletes will be giving card to record their time like we did at EHS on Dec. 21st.
No spikes allowed, you can use the rubber bottom shoes or your
training flats, no plastic bottom shoes or pins/spikes in the shoes.

The meet is electronically timed, athletes will need hip numbers except

Hip numbers
will be issued at the check-in area by the 55m dash start line. We probably will be issuing our own hip numbers - so
check with me at the meet.

Good Night Winter
Track and Field Family. This is the first of my weekly Sunday messages.I will
try and send at least one message per
week. Any updates will be posted on the internal page on the website.
Based on
my last count – this year’s team will be the largest in school history.Currently have 211 athletes confirmed with another
20 missing their time trials to officially be on the team - therefore,
communication is very important.
The
1600m
Time Trials is posted on the Winter 19 – 20 page.
Unless it
is urgent, I will only be sending out email once a week – so everyone needs to
join Remind - https://www.remind.com/classes/gcmwi , follow on twitter or just keep checking the
team website especially the internal page for updates – daily and sometimes
hourly.
It just
came to my attention that the wrong Remind was listed on the page as the 2nd
sign up – so please make sure and join the one above.
I am usually
at school twice a week on Mondays and Wednesdays evenings – so been able to communication
is very important to me.
The field
event Coaches has setup up separate remind – so join these for those updates.

Booster's Christmas Tree Sales.
*Sat. Nov. 30th
*Sat. Dec. 21st
*Coach Wong will assign if not completed by Nov.
25th
I know
the options were limited at competition spikes at Road
Runner Tonight. Eastbay.com is one of the best places online to get shoes. You
can also try Amazon. If, you’re not sure what to get – email me the link or ask
your event coach.
*The first 8 are great starter spikes
– they are usually comfortable and not too aggressive
*Get a cheap pair of these even
if you’re getting the covered spikes – it will be better for training and
running the outdoors polar bear meets and if you will be doing spring track.
*These can be used for hurdling,
long and triple jump
