Update 14: Week Eight, Friday, December 28, 2018

12/30/2018

 
We have two practices remaining this week.  Unfortunately, we need to cancel the training scheduled for Hyland on Monday and Tuesday next week.   Hyland practices will resume on Wednesday, Jan. 2 at 6:30PM.   
 
I. REVISED Hyland Training Winter Break Schedule 
Friday, Dec 28: 7:45-10:30AM                      Varsity/JV -- Lanes 7, 8
Saturday, Dec 29: 7:45-10:30AM                  Varsity/JV – Lanes 1, 2, 3
CANCELLED--Monday, December 31: 3:00-5:00PM
CANCELLED--Tuesday, January 1: 6:30-8:45PM   
Wednesday, January 2: 6:30-8:45PM            Varsity/JV – Lanes B, C
Thursday, January 3: 6:30-8:45PM                Varsity/JV – Lanes 2, 3
Friday, January 4: 5:00-7:30PM                     Varsity/JV – Lanes 3, 4
Saturday, January 5: 7:45-10:30AM              Varsity/JV – Lanes A, B, C
 
II.  JV RACE: JANUARY 4, 2019
The first Hyland JV race is scheduled for Friday, January 4th at 4:30PM.   MAST is responsible for supplying one gate judge station.  It would be great if we could get TWO volunteers to share this duty.   Please email DANIEL and MARK if you are willing to help.  dpolland@gmail.com             markrobertconway58@gmail.com. You will need to be on the hill for a gate judges meeting at 4PM on Friday.  Overdress for warmth—it will likely be cold.  
 
Listed below are the athletes who have submitted their intention TO RACE next Friday in the Hyland JV Race.  If you would like to race and your name is not listed, you need to STATE YOUR INTENTIONS NO LATER THAN NOON ON SUNDAY (DEC 30).  Daniel and I need to submit a run order for the race Sunday evening.  We will not be able to do this later in the week since we will be at Giants Ridge all week.  Here is a link to STATE YOUR INTENTIONS.

III.  Future Races
We have a fairly busy race schedule coming up.   Some races are for Varsity racers only and others are for JV racers only.  And some are for both Varsity and JV racers.  If you are unsure whether you are Varsity or JV, or are floating between the levels, state your race intentions for all the races.  No harm done by doing so.  Also, please do not state your intention to race unless you are certain you are able to race. Check with your teachers, parents, neighbors, dog… anyone who has a claim on your time and life.  Make sure you are really available before stating that you are available.   
 
Some notes on the races:
  • Hyland JV races start at 4:30PM.  If you are in middle school, you will get an early release of 3PM to attend the race.  This should give you enough time to get to HYLAND if you are picked up directly from school with your ski gear.   The races should conclude by 6:30 at the latest.
  • Hyland Varsity/JV races will start at 4:30PM as well.  Again, you will get an early release from school at 3PM if you are in middle school.  
  • The Welch Invitational is an early afternoon race. At this point a bus is scheduled to depart from Washburn at 9am.    I may move this back an hour once I have more details about the race schedule.  You will miss most of your school day.  Note that this is the last Friday of school before the end of the quarter and semester.   Consider whether it is prudent for you to be absent that day before committing to race.
  • The Spirit Mt and Afton Invitationals are both on days of your semester break from school.  The race at Spirit was a great day last year so I encourage all of you to sign up.   We will be leaving early for this one: 6AM.    The Afton race starts early in the afternoon so we will likely have a 9am departure from Washburn for that one.  We are only bringing Varsity squads to the Afton race.    
  • The last dual meet of the year is on January 31 and is at Welch Village.  All racers are invited to attend this race.  We have traditionally taken two buses to this race.  One departs from Washburn and one from SW.   You will need to leave school that day around 1:45/2PM to meet the bus.
 
IV.  Giants Ridge Parent Lift Tickets and Race Workers
Giants Ridge is offering a group rate of $33/day for an adult lift ticket if purchased through MAST. If you are planning on joining us on the iron range during any or all of the four days of camp, you can order lift tickets ahead of time.  Here is a link to order tickets:
Giants Ridge Lift Ticket Order Form.
 
On Thursday, our athletes are racing in the Hibbing Invitational.   We need to provide some gate judges.   If you are attending the race and are willing to gate judge, MAST will buy your lift ticket that day.  Please email MARK at markrobertconway58@gmail.com if you would be willing to gate judge on Thursday at Giants Ridge.  You will need to attend a gate judges meeting at 9AM in the timing building.   
 
V.  Great Harvest Baker of the Day Fundraiser
Our BIG Fundraiser is just around the corner.  Please get cracking on selling the wonderful products from Great Harvest. It is the PRE SALE ORDERS that YOU collect that makes this a great fundraiser.   Here is a link to information about the fundraiser, forms, and the volunteer sign up: January 13, 2019 Great Harvest Fundraiser.
 
VI.  Ski Area Release of Liability Waivers: Giants Ridge and Welch Village
If you are attending the Giants Ridge Camp, please remember to complete the attached waiver and turn it into MARK at practice or give it to MARK at the bus on Monday morning.  Do not forget or you won’t be skiing.
 
Also, if you plan to race or train at Welch in January, you need to have a parent complete and sign TWO on line waivers for Welch Village.  Please get this done as well.

Whew!  That is a lot of information. Thanks for reading.   
 
See you bright and early.
Mark
