Hello ECHS Players and Families,

We are nearing the end of this week and wanted to send out a little mid-week update.

REMINDERS TO CONTINUE TO KEEP IN MIND:

• - all student athletes are expected to show up every day and be ON TIME
• - all students are in charge of their own transportation to OGHS and all meets/invites (PARENTS: please be ready to pick up your students at 7:30PM. Coaches cannot leave until every student is picked up. Please be courteous with our staff’s time.)
• - Lastly and most importantly: please ALWAYS refer to our website daily as this will be our main form of communication and it will contain updates regarding practices, locations, news, etc.

Next week we look forward to League Meet #1 on Thursday, February 7th! The roster will be posted for your viewing on Tuesday, March 5th. Please remember to carbo-load the night before, and take it EASY. This is only the first meet of many and we can only go up! We will be doing a mock meet on Friday to get us ready.

PENDING: There is a possibility of needing to move our Monday practice location from OGHS to ECHS. Please check the website to confirm! 

IMPORTANT: SHOES

You need your foot to be solid. You need good shoes. You’re going to be on your toes a lot!

SPRINTERS: a pair of track spikes—extremely lightweight, stiff-soled shoes and have spikes (aka, “pins”) attached underneath the forefoot. Runner’s World. Only 3/16” needle spikes will be permitted on the track and runways. NO PYRAMID SPIKES WILL BE PERMITTED.

THROWERS (shot put, discus): there are shoes specifically made for events like this. My recommendations: Nike Zoom Rotationals, Asics Throw Pro, and Under Armor Centric Grip. These can be bought at Big 5, Dicks Sporting Goods.

JUMPERS: Jumping Track Spikes

DISTANCE: Any good running shoes (similar to those in Cross Country). My recommendation: Brooks!
