2. Summer
Schedule: Posted on-line at http://curtisxc.blogspot.com/
Practices are typically on Mondays at 4pm at a coach’s
house, Tuesday at 10am at CHS, Wednesday at Point Defiance at 4pm, Thursday at
10am at CHS, and Friday at 10am at CHS.
Any changes/ updates to the summer schedule will be updated online, so
make sure to confirm on the website about any practices. Links on the website will also clarify
location and time. Attendance will be
taken, and will factor into varsity points for the season.
3. Summer camp: It will be at Lakes HS/Fort Steilacoom Park
during the last week of July. Cost is
$110 if you send in the registration before July 14th. Brochures are available
here or online at: http://www.fortsteilacoominvite.com/sscccinformation.html
4. Varsity Retreats: We will have a 3-day/2-night camping retreat
for the varsity teams during the Thursday-Saturday of the first week of the
regular season (August 29-31st).
The boys will be heading to Vashon Island again, and the girls will be
heading to TBD. The trip will not cost
very much, if anything at all for the athletes.
Qualifying factors for the retreat involve a combination of
total miles logged during the summer and performance at a 2-mile time trial on
the first day of official practice (August 26th). Running logs will be
provided, and must be signed by a parent or guardian and turned in on the first
day of practice to be considered for qualification to the varsity retreat. The summer running logs will also affect varsity
points during the season.

*new female runners are asked to remain at 10 - 15 miles a
week in June – mid July and then
increase as tolerated until the season
begins to avoid injury.
5. Team Dinners: Some of the Monday practices in July will be
at a coach’s house, and will include dinner afterwards. Directions/ information will be on the online
calendar. If your family is interested
in hosting the team for a Monday evening practice/dinner in August, contact
Coach Mangrum (bmangrum@upsd.wednet.edu)
to coordinate the date and include the information on the online calendar.
During the regular season we often have team dinners before
Saturday meets. If your family is
interested in hosting a team dinner (usually spaghetti, can be a potluck if you
wish) contact Coach Mangrum. First come,
first reserved.
*If you have any questions about this summer or next season,
just send an email to Coach Mangrum at bmangrum@upsd.wednet.edu
6. Woodbridge
Invite, Irvine CA Information:
A.
Cost estimates: Plane tickets right now are going for about
$210 online. My best estimate will add
another $100 to cover hotel, van rental, and gas (Total of about $310). All other expenses will be on your own.
B.
Plane tickets: You must purchase your plane tickets
individually. Here’s what you do:
1. Go to Alaskaair.com
2. On the left side of the page, enter the
following information into the Flight Reservation window: Roundtrip flight
departing from Seattle (SEA ) and
going to Long Beach (LGB) departing on September 19th, 2013 and
returning on September 22nd, 2013
3. Select the Departing Flight at 7:00am-9:30am (flight # 3472), and
the Returning Flight at 10:15am-12:46pm
(flight # 3471)
*Note—if seats are not available
for one or both of the above flights, select the following as your flight: departing Seattle at 1:35pm-4:11pm (flight # 3474) and
departing Long Beach at 5:00pm-7:31pm
(flight # 3475). If these
flights are not available for some reason, contact Coach Mangrum before booking
a different flight.
4. Fill in your contact information, Select
seats, Submit Payment Information
5. Print out two copies of your reservation confirmation—one for you, one
for Mangrum (bring in the paper to Mangrum ASAP so you have your spot reserved)
C.
Fundraising—
T-shirt advertisements—you
can raise a lot of money very easily with this fundraiser…just bring in the
letter to a local community-friendly business and ask to share it with the
manager. You will receive %100 of the
funds to reimburse your cost for the trip (unless you raise more than
enough—then it will help others) as long as you give Mangrum your list of
businesses you approach. I suggest
visiting those businesses that have done this in the past (see any recent team
t-shirt for ideas). See the attached
draft of this year’s letter.
Group fundraisers—we
will do a few other fundraisers (Curtis football game concessions, two car
washes, a pizza takeover at Roundtable, etc) that will lower the total cost for
the hotel/van/gas and help cover any other costs for the trip. You are expected to attend these if you are
traveling to California this year.
D.
Summer requirements—
Attendance—you are
expected to come to as many summer practices as you can. In order to participate in the Woodbridge
Invite, you must come to at least 50% of the scheduled practices. Talk to Coach Mangrum or Coach Jacobsen if
you have special circumstances.
Training logs—You are
also expected to maintain a personal running/training log during the summer,
which will be provided. Logs must be
signed by a parent/guardian and turned in on the first day of practice.
E.
Chaperones—We will need 1 adult for every 6
students, therefore we could need some parents to be volunteer chaperones. They would likely need to pay for their own
plane ticket. Let Mangrum know if your
parent is interested. Numbers of
athletes will determine the number of chaperones.
