Week 7 Updates

Last week was a great week for track and field! Our athletes set lots of new PR's, won lots of ribbons, and put down current state-qualifying results in two events. Scroll to the end for last week's results, place winners, photo links, and more.

Many athletes have already done this at practice this week. We just need names and sizes. Team shirts are funded by our fundraising efforts this year (see an update below). If they have not already ordered a size in practice, athletes should complete the form linked below by Wednesday.

FUNDRAISING UPDATE

Our athletes have done a great job asking for support from family and friends!

  • If every member of our team got one more $20 donation, we would hit our goal. 
  • We have 10 more days to donate. Go Falcons! 



PARENTS, WE NEED YOUR HELP!

Thank you to Angie Austell for signing up to host our final Team Dinner on May 3rd!

We're still looking for a host for our next Team Dinner at HRHS on April 26th.

THANK YOU

A BIG THANK YOU to all the family and friends who have helped our team surpass the halfway mark on our fundraising goal through our SnapRaise Fundraiser!! Please share our fundraiser on social media or via text or email to help us reach our goal before 4/26.

Our goals for this fundraiser included a new team tent for meets, extra coaches beyond the 5 the district funds, equipment & implements ... and now after Saturday's windstorm that picked up our entire high jump pit and flipped it over the fence surrounding the track, a new high jump pit cover (these run in the $2,000-$3,000 range). We appreciate your support in this effort!!


COMING SOON

Our next Team Dinner is scheduled for 4/26 at HRHS. We hope all athletes will attend to celebrate our fundraising efforts and the results of our Frosh/Soph Championship.

RSVP HERE (scroll to bottom for Attending)

 We're looking for parents to host and help provide food and drinks for the meal. The main dish can be pasta, pizza, a taco bar, or whatever you dream up. Multiple families can come together to host. Please help keep this team tradition strong!

THIS WEEK

Wednesday 4/3 @ 2:00 pm - JV @ Echo Park

Saturday 4/5 -- Varsity @ JEFFCO STADIUM (Note: this is a new location)

Our Team!Snap fundraiser continues through 4/26, and we're off to a strong start thanks to several athletes who have shared the fundraiser through emails and texts! Click here to see our team video and support our team by sharing our fundraising page or donating:



We still have several athletes who have not entered emails or showed coaches their texts for the fundraiser, so we know we can finish strong with their help! Full participation from our team will help us fund:
  •  A new team tent for meets: Our current tent is several years old and has been "Frankensteined" together with spare parts from old tents as parts have broken from the wind. We are planning to get a new tent that is built to withstand winds as high as 35 mph.
  • Assistant Coaches: It takes a lot of expertise to coach distance, sprints, throws, jumps, and hurdles for 70+ athletes across JV and Varsity! The district only funds 5 coaches. Our team has 8.
  • New equipment and implements: Every year, we have equipment and implement needs. This is our first season with new blocks, a new pole vault pit cover, and a new hurdles cart we were able to purchase with last year's fundraiser. This season, we have already purchased new throws implements and training equipment and we also hope to invest in new timing equipment for sprinters with funds from this year's fundraiser.
  • Senior gifts and year-end awards and other team traditions

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
