LC wins the Run for the Red Baton

The LC 8th Grade boys and girls took the Red Baton this year. Congratulations Trailblazers.

Graduation

I probably have a track post or two to catch up on here, but for the most part you won't be seeing posts here anymore. Just as the kids have graduated from Lewis and Clark, they will be graduating from Lewis and Clark Sports (lcsports.blogspot.com) to Jefferson City Sports (jcsports.blogspot.com), so you might want to update your bookmarks.

This will be the last video posted here, so enjoy as our kids graduate to the next level.



You can even find Jefferson City Sports at your favorite Internet Cafe.

One Meet Left

Only one meet left; the one for bragging rights. That is right, Tuesday is the Run for the Red Baton.

The meet will be at Thomas Jefferson Middle School at 4pm. The bus will transport the LC kids from the school at 2:30pm.

Reminder: There is no bus taking the kids back. Kids will need to be picked up at Thomas Jefferson following the meet.

Warrensburg Relays

The 8th Grade boys and girls hit the road to Warrensburg this morning for the Warrensburg Relays. Per the schedule the meet is to begin at 9am and the bus is expected back around 6:30pm.

Columbia Relays on Monday

The Lewis and Clark 8th Grade Trailblazers will head to Rock Bridge for the Columbia Relays on Monday. The meet is scheduled to begin at 4pm.

UPDATE: We, as well as others from both Jefferson City and Columbia, found out that Rock Bridge was not actually the venue for today's track meet. The Activities Hotline clued us in and routed us on to Hickman.

Not sure when, but the online schedule did get updated to reflect that it was the Optimist Relays and held at Hickman.

Track Meet Canceled

Today's Track Meet has been canceled.

As of 1pm the Track Meet is still on.

As of 1pm the Jeff City Activities Hotline (573)-635-5277 states the 8th Grade Track Meet in Columbia is still on. My understanding is that the meet will be held at Rock Bridge. Hopefully I have the correct information.

Season Opener

The season opener is upon us. The Lewis and Clark 8th Grade Track Team will host Oakland Jr. and Jeff Jr. from Columbia, tomorrow (4/1/08) afternoon at Lewis and Clark Middle School Track. The meet is scheduled to begin at 4pm.

Wednesday 4/2/08 is Picture Day and then Thursday 4/3/08 the team will travel to Columbia to face West Jr., Oakland Jr., and Jeff Jr. at 4pm (not sure which location the event will be held at yet).

Runners, on your mark.....

Some have wondered why the kids listen to the coaches. Okay, before we get into too much trouble, the gun in coaches hand is simply a starter's pistol that was handled appropriately, as today was time trials. I believe all of the kids were timed at 100m and 300m.

And if it makes all of you parents feel any better the kids don't always do what they are told at school either.

Time Trials

It is my understanding that Time Trials will actually begin today instead of tomorrow as noted on the schedule, do to the the nice weather forecast.

Parent Meeting Handouts

Here is the document handed out at the parent meeting.

Track Practice

I believe Track Practice begins on 2/25/08 for the 8th Grade Boys and Girls.

Per the sports schedule it looks as though Time Trials will be held at Lewis and Clark on 3/13/08 at 3:30pm.

I imagine we should hear more from the kids once practice begins.
