Please help make the final home meet a success. You have all been amazing this season and we hope you will help one more time! Please sign up at the following link: https://lastchancevolunteers.cheddarup.com
Gates open at 7am, with throws starting at 8:30, horizontal jumps starting at 9 and running starting at 11.
Note that this is a school day so the student lot will not be available until after 3pm. Parking will be available at the Park and Ride at 40th St and the 202. Shuttles will run from 7am-12pm and 2-4pm.
The set up crew should still be able to park in the lot for set up but will then need to move their cars, as the coaches have asked for a 6am set up time.

Away Meet Donations
We need families to donate Fry's gift cards for away meets so the Boosters can purchase sandwiches and snacks for the athletes and coaches. You can turn these into the coaches at practice or bring them to the next Booster meeting on Thursday, March 27 at 6 PM in the cafeteria.
Please also consider donating fruit to our athletes and coaches for our away meets. You can drop off the following items to practice before the meet, or bring them to the meet. (The Boosters will also be donating Gatorade powder and protein bars.)
Apples
Bananas
Cuties
Watermelon slices
Strawberries

Thank you Thunder Invite Volunteers!
On behalf of the Boosters and coaches, thank you very much to everyone who contributed time and energy to the Thunder Invitational last week. Your commitment and presence helped the meet run more smoothly and allowed coaches and athletes to focus on competing.
Our next home meet will be Becky Matthews on April 5. Be on the lookout for sign-ups soon. We will likely need the same positions filled with the potential for some changes or additions.
We will also need families to work with the banquet committee chair to help plan and execute the two team banquets at the end of the season. We will have sign-up links for those, too, but you are also invited to attend the next Board/Booster meeting to be part of the conversation and planning. Dates and times for the remaining meetings are TBD, but the next is likely the first week after Spring Break. We will update those dates soon.
Reach out if you have any questions to: dvtrackandfieldtreasurer@gmail.com
