Distance News...3.12.07

Unfortunately some news is not positive. It was reported to me this
afternoon(Monday) that a significant number of girls either cut the run by
going down streets that lessened the miles, walked significantly, or were
seen sitting on a bench near the high school during the run. The workout was
described by Coach Clemons as "one of the worse ever..." The girls involved
are not in group one...our more experienced girls; rather, most were our
less experienced girls. Nevertheless, please be advised that there will be
consequences such as being confined to the track during subsequent road
runs, or being cut from the program. Parents, we are in the supervision
business...Please impress upon your daughter, as will we, that an honest
effort is paramount to our success, and is essential for their safety and
well being. There are around 90 distance runners, and two coaches...and for
us to succeed your daughter needs to listen, perform the run described, and
do so with appropriate effort. Thank you for your cooperation...

GO BLUE!!
