The following athletes have signed up.  I need to send Omega contact information for the parents so a consent form can be signed prior to the analysis.  Since consent form will be signed, parents do not have to attend but they are absolutely welcome to.  Brandywine is not involved in this screening and will NOT be providing transportation.  

1. Dexter Weintel

2.  Celia Wichmann

3.  Clayton & Graham Mitchell

4. Stephen Bockrath

5.  Aidan Harrison-Walls

6. Andres Albizu Melendez

7. Eva Baker

If you are unable to make the screening on Monday 9/18, please let me know.

Screenings will be taking place at their Wilmington Location:

1806 N. Van Buren Street, Suite 100/110

Wilmington, DE 19802

There is a parking lot in the back.  

Those attending, please send me email addresses so I can compile and forward to Omega PT.

Send contact information to michelleluceyflanagan@gmail.com OR message me in BAND

Thanks!

Message from Unionville Meet Director

 Hi Everyone!

Tomorrow's meet is going forward as scheduled at Unionville High School.  See message from Meet Director below.  If you have any concerns about your athlete participating, please send me a message in the Band app.

Coaches:

The meet is taking place at Unionville High School as scheduled.

 

Unionville High School is back in session and had after school activities yesterday and a full school day today.  I will be on campus by 6am Saturday and I am not concerned.  We will be safe on Saturday.

 

Law enforcement and the Unionville administration have declared our district safe.

 

Police perimeter is in the southeastern portion of our district (8-10 square mile area). Unionville HS is 3 miles from closest part of the perimeter.   

 

PSP says “no problem” if we want to host the event. Could be some minor traffic issues with road closures - plan ahead

 

Mushroom festival (10 000+ people, also about 2 miles from the perimeter) is ON in Kennett on Saturday

 

We had a safe and successful day of in-person school in all of our buildings today. And our buildings will remain open tomorrow. 

 

Lots of fun at the races Saturday and the campus opens at 6:45am (we need the weather to cooperate):

- Kona ice truck

- DJ

- light concessions

- Phila Runner tent and they will have a prize pack for the fastest male and female on the day

- medal tent for the top 25 in every race

- trophies to the top 2 teams (determined by the top place from each class) - boys and girls are separate

- backpacks for the winning team on each side

- BASH t-shirts for sale

 

BHSXC Week 4

 Hi Everyone!

Congrats to all the bulldogs for participating in this year's Scrimmage for Cancer.  Our boosters fund made a $100 donation to the Cancer Support Community Delaware.  For many of you, this was your first 5K and we were so happy to see those pink shirts cross the finish line!

I hope you enjoyed the long Labor Day weekend.  Please take a few minutes to read the announcements below and make note of our upcoming schedule.  

Gait Analysis:  Omega PT has offered to set up night for gait screenings for anyone who is interested.  This is normally a $50 fee but they will waive the fee if we bring a group in.  Click HERE for more information.  My daughter had this done her freshman year and it was a tremendous help in correcting a few flaws in her running form.  Please send me a message in the BAND app if you are interested.  More information will follow. 

Uniform Shorts:  All athletes need a solid black pair of running shorts for competitions.  These must be purchased before our first meet which is Saturday 9/9.  

Water Bottles: All athletes should have a reusable water bottle with them at practice every day.  There are water filling stations in the school.  Please make sure you are filling up your water before heading out to the bus or track.  We recommend at least 32 ounces.  Marshalls and TJMaxx have plenty of this size at reasonable prices. Please make sure you are hydrating throughout the day.  The temperatures will be in the 90's this week!

Nutrition:  Please make sure you are properly fueled before coming to practice each day.  If you eat A lunch, you should pack a snack to eat before practice.  Something easily digested like Belvita, granola bars, or bananas.
