Pool Party and Weekend schedule

Hi Everyone!
Great job today in the scrimmage!  Just about everyone lowered their time trial time from Bellevue on a much harder course!  Click on the link to the right for the results :)

Our weekend schedule is as follows:

Friday August 31st:  Practice 9AM at Bellevue

Pool Party at Graylyn Crest Pool 5-8

The pool is located on Marsh Road between Silverside and Harvey.  It's just past Branmar Plaza on the left  hand side.  If you are coming from Harvey Rd. the pool is about half a mile from Papa Johns on the right.  Please bring $5 to cover swimming and pizza.  It's supposed to be a scorcher tomorrow...high of 91!

Saturday and Sunday:  NO PRACTICE ....run on your own.  This is a good opportunity to get in a nice LONG RUN :)


Monday September 3:  9AM Bellevue. 

We realize many of you will be out of town for the holiday weekend.  Please make sure you  pack your running shoes and put some miles in on your own.

First Day of Practice!

Hi Everyone!
Our first practice is scheduled to begin at 6PM tonight at Bellevue State Park.  We will meet by the bathrooms next to the track.

There are thunderstorms in the forecast.  We follow the DIAA policy regarding lightning and we will NOT practice in the event of a thunderstorm.  Please use your best judgement when heading out.

If you have not turned in your physical to the nurse at BHS, please bring it with you tonight.  You cannot practice without a current physical on file at the school (dated after April 1, 2012).

Get those Physicals!

Hi Everyone!
Just a Reminder...All athletes MUST have a current sports physical (dated AFTER April 1, 2012)  on file at BHS before the first day of practice.  The Wellness Center at BHS is open now (see May 21st post  for hours and info). 

Athletes can also get a sports physical at the Brandywine Medical Center (near Target).  Cost is $25.  Have immunizaton records and all paperwork filled out.  Appointment is not needed.

Please take care of this ASAP  :)

We have less than two weeks until the start of Preseason.  If you would like to join your teammates for a run, our summer schedule is HERE

We look forward to seeing everyone on August 15, 6PM at Bellevue State Park.  We  will meet by the picnic tables near the bathrooms/track.  All cars will be required to pay the park entrance fee if you do not have a state park sticker.  The Fee Season extends until the end of November so I suggest that all families purchase a sticker.  Cost is $27.  You can purchase them at any state park.  Click HERE for more info.

See you soon!!!!

Coach Flanagan :)
