Saturday Meet: Change of Plans

From: Coach Parker

To: Lone Oak Middle School Cross-Country Team

Subject: Saturday meet: change of plans

Runners,

Because of the heavy rain this week, Saturday's meet will no longer be held at Cedar Creek Park. The trails there are flooded. The meet will now take place at Medina Valley High School, on the track and the grass fields behind it.

The bus will leave from our school's front parking lot at 6:45 a.m., fifteen minutes earlier than planned, because the drive is longer. If you are not on the bus by 6:45, it will leave without you, so plan to get here by 6:30.

Bring your uniform, running shoes, a water bottle, and a change of dry clothes. The forecast says more rain is possible.
