Welcome to Roseville PAL Express Track Club!
Don't miss "How to teach LJ clinic" - July 9 Prior to the Natomas all-comer this Thursday, Coach Adarian will be teaching this clinic. Cost is free but donations are accepted.
Second round of JO qualifiers is this weekend Don't miss your training this week. RPAL Express coaches will be available Monday-Wednesday at Oakmont and Thursday at Natomas HS. Young Men's 4x100m relay need to practice hand-offs at the all-comer. Make sure you arrive at least two hours before posted start time of your events in Bakersfield ... unless it is the first event of the day ... then one hour earlier is acceptable. Success at Thursday all-comer - July 2 You should have seen him reach the sky ... so effortlessly! Coach Paul set a seasonal PR with a vault of 15' 3". Others are also doing quite well. Come join the fun. Meet was over by 8:30 pm yesterday. Not bad to run an entire meet in 2 1/2 hours. Parents we need to ask for you to step up and help out with the field events. Coach Paul has the PV covered ... but we need help with long/triple jump pits, high jump and turbo javelin. There was no turbo javelin contested yesterday due to lack of volunteers. Also, high jump started almost an hour after the meet started. If it wasn't for Coach Adarian and Coach Kent there wouldn't have been a long/triple jump event. Our throws coach, Alex found himself manning the microphone for the evening. Let's band together to ensure everyone gets a chance to compete. There is a photographer taking pictures and he will sell them for a very small cost. Finally, remember to wear your uniform when you come to compete. By wearing your uniform you are promoting the club and helping to spread (shall I say ... market) the club to our community. Full meet results can be located at http://stefonmc.best.vwh.net/. 3 RPAL Express athletes at Youth Nationals A successful competition. Jessica Kostka made the podium once and Mackenzie Arnold twice. Highest place finisher for the club was Mackenzie's second place in the long jump.

Region 14 Junior Olympics - July 10-12 To compete in this meet you must finish in the Top 8 places in your event in the last Junior Olympic meet that was held at Granada HS in Livermore in June. Pay close attention to where you need to be as the Friday events will be at a different venue then Saturday/Sunday competition. Arrive 2-hours before the posted meet time unless you are the first event of the day ... then only 1 hour early. Ensure you as an athlete and parent are paying attention to the calls to go to the clerking area ... as well as watching the meet in case the calls do not happen. If you miss checking in ... you will not get to compete. Hotel for Bakersfield (only 1 room left at this rate so call right away)
Top 3 finishers from this meet will advance to the USATF Junior Olympics in Greensboro, NC.
Practice moved to Natomas HS for all Thursdays In a show of support for the all-comer series RPAL Express will move all of our Thursday practices to the all-comer. Meet begins at 6 pm / registration begins at 4:30 pm but you don't need to arrive that early. Volunteers are always needed for field events if you can step up to help out.

There are also paddle boats to rent. Don't forget your sunscreen! RPAL will recognize each athlete ... it is up to the athletes to recognize their coaches. Create a scrapbook pageEach year, at the close of the season, RPAL Express creates a team photo album. The album is created by you! Each athlete is requested to submit a standard scrapbook page (1 page per athlete) that we can include. What can go on the page? Athletes, name, age group, favorite events and marks and possibly a short note of thanks to their coach or a story about an experience this season. Don't forget your photos! Pages will be due at the end-of-season team party ... or sooner if you want to bring them to practice. RPAL athletes advance to Region 14 Junior Olympics It was a hot 3-days at Granada HS in Livermore on June 26-28. May it be cooler in two weeks in Bakersfield.
