Soldotna Friday Overnight Trip Details

• The team will be riding the bus to and from Soldotna, and will be staying overnight at Skyview Middle School with coach supervision. See gear list below.
• All athletes are asked to check-in with the coaches at practice this week to let them know if they plan on participating in this race. 
• Athletes who have not met the 10 practice requirement may still attend to participate in the community race which we will time them in.
• Watch the website and Remind app for important news and updates, such as race cancellations due to smoke, and delayed return due to traffic. At this point, the race is ON. 
• All athletes must ride the bus to and from the race. Meet at the Little Gym behind Service Friday, 8/23/19 at 4pm. 
  • Parents that must leave the meet with a student are required to sign the  sign out sheet.  We had a lot of issues with parents not signing the sign out sheet at the first meet of the season and if it continues we will be forced to require all athletes to ride the bus home to Service from meets.
• The bus will return at approximately 7:30pm on Saturday, 8/24/19. 
• The Booster Club will provide breakfast and lunch on Saturday. All athletes are asked to bring $10 for pizza Friday night. 
• Contributions of race snacks are appreciated. Coaches have asked for single-serving items to avoid spread of germs (ie. reaching into a bag of trail mix).
