We will be having an end of season banquet on Sunday, November 5th from 3:00-5:00pm at St. Andrew Church in Verona (301 N Main St, Verona, WI 53593). The Zakrzewski family will be providing pulled pork, hot dogs, and lemonade. Everything else will be potluck style – so please bring a dessert or side to share! There will be kickball, yard games, and board games (hopefully there will be nice weather)!

“Hi all!

I’m looking forward to seeing everyone race at Albany tomorrow, hopefully the cool weather brings some fast times!

Rather than going to the Lightning Grade School meet next Saturday, we are now going to attend a middle school only meet at Verona High School on Thursday.There will not be an official practice for high schoolers, but the hope is that they come to the meet to cheer the middle schoolers on. Verona High School sits right on the Military Ridge Trail, so I will probably send all of the high schoolers that are there on a run while the middle schoolers are walking the course and warming up. The meet schedule is as follows:

4:30 – 6/7th Grade Girls

4:55 – 6/7th Grade Boys

5:20 – 8th Grade Girls

5:45 – 8th Grade Boys

We will be heading over to Verona High School right after school. I will be able to drive a school van that holds 13 kids, but we will need help with carpooling there. I’ve linked a spreadsheet here for you to sign your kids up for rides and volunteer to help drive. If you could sign up there, it would help a ton with my planning for making sure that everyone is accounted for.

Thank you!

Per the Team Linkt message from Coach Myers on 10/11/23:

“Hi all,

I am going to cancel practice for this afternoon. Between musical auditions, updated carpools because of the auditions, and a few other things, the number of athletes that will be able to attend keeps decreasing.

Thanks!

“Hi all,

I just received word that the middle school meet at Verona on 10/12/23 has been rescheduled until next Wednesday, October 18th. They have a few meets there over the next two weeks and with the projected rain, want to make sure that they keep the course in good shape.

I recognize that some of you may have planned on the middle school season ending tomorrow while others planned on attending practice with the high schoolers all of next week. We are still going to be attending the rescheduled meet, but I understand if your child is no longer able to make it. We will carpool over just as we had planned for tomorrow. I’ve linked the ride sign-up below.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1EK18EW_63aWcrtYeb_3AzVVBzEI0t9-IqWsbZR_l6AQ/edit?usp=sharing

We will still have practice tomorrow. The weather isn’t going to be great so please make sure that your kids pack sweats and a rain jacket. Part of the practice will be inside tomorrow. The high school time trial that was also planned for tomorrow will still be happening at school.

Please let me know if you have any questions!

Coach Myers

“Good morning everyone –

I’m sorry, but I think we need to cancel the spaghetti supper this week. We’re having difficulty finding an appropriate venue. We had hoped to have practice out at our place, but that won’t be possible this week.

We will happily provide snack this Saturday at Albany, with our sincerest thanks for your understanding. Is this a bribe? Maybe. 😉

Yours in Christ,
Laura Zim”

 

Host – Haun Family

The Haun family will be hosting the Spaghetti Dinner on Friday, Sept 15th at Walnut Grove Park (202 N Westfield Rd, Madison, WI 53717). It is about a mile from school. Runners will practice at school and carpool over to the park for dinner. Families are welcome to join! Dinner will begin around 5:00pm. Please plan to pick up your runner between 6:00-6:30pm from the park. If any parents can help carpool runners to the park from school, it would be much appreciated!

 

Races start at 4:00pm

Runners need to be ready to walk the course at 2:30. Those racing will be leaving service day early. They will leave directly from their service day site. Carpools have been arranged with parents also helping at service day.

Spectators will be charged $5 per person.

Boys Varsity: 4:00 pm
Girls Varsity: 4:45 pm

Practice from 5:00pm-6:15pm with dinner to follow.

The Belter family has offered to host this year’s kickoff pasta dinner. They are pretty far away for most, so they are inviting parents and families to hang out while waiting for students. They live on a farm with lots of fun places to explore and trails to walk. They will host practice at 5:00pm and dinner to follow at 6:15pm.
