Holy Cross H. S. Track & Field: Previous News
Tuesday, June 6THANKS !
We would like to thank all the parents, team members, and coaches for the beautiful send-off at the Team Banquet on June 5. Your thoughts and words and gifts are very much appreciated. Over the years, the Holy Cross family has become very special to us, and we’re going to miss being part of that.
Seniors – What an energetic, talented bunch you all are! We enjoyed watching you grow and learn and find yourselves over the past 4 years. The team is truly going to miss your leadership and athletic abilities, but you showed by example what makes a championship team – and it is much more than good splits, jumps, or throws. Good luck in college and Life!
Underclassmen – Now it is your turn to step up and take a leadership role in the track & field program. You saw how far this year’s teams went, build on that and take it even further next year!
Coaches – What can we say, other than thank you for all you have done for the program and its successes? Our teams are more than a bunch of runners, jumpers and throwers - they really are a family. Each team member truly enjoys being part of the teams no matter what their role is. That those teams “just happen” to be championship teams, as they have been for many years, is a testament to your coaching and friendship.
Parents & Friends - Thank you for all of your support in the past, and we ask that you please continue to support the teams, coaches and parents club in the future, and help take the program to the next level!
Michael & Barbara

TRACK CLOTHING - ***UPDATE***
The sweatshirts, T-shirts and embroidered warm-ups were finished today (Friday)and will be available tomorrow (Saturday) at the school at about 6:45 am before the bus leaves for the meet. For those who have not paid, the T-shirts are $18 and the sweatshirts are $32 (make checks payable to Holy Cross HS). . Anything not paid for and left over will be placed in Cross' Corner in about a week.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A second batch of team sweatshirts and a second batch of girls t-shirts were ordered based on demand at the Parents Meeting on March 15. They are scheduled to be finished about April 8th. We did order a few extra of each, which will go on sale in Cross' Corner when they are available.
The team warm-ups requested and paid at the Parents Meeting were also ordered and should be ready at the same time.
We still have some new boys singlets, and new girls singlets (both looser fit nylon and tighter fit lycra) for sale - but these are not Cross' Corner.

WE NEED VOLUNTEERS - ***UPDATE***
Mr. Cusack from the boys team has offered to help, but at least two people are needed to set the tents up. If anyone can help him, (and it is supposed to rain and be cold and windy tomorrow) please see him (early!) at the meet tomorrow morning.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The boys' and girls' teams are in need of parent volunteers to help with the team tents and canopy. They are used to help keep our team (and parents) warm and dry during the early, cool part of the season, and then cool (out of the sun) and dry during late, warm part of the season.
The immediate need is for this weekend's Hall of Fame Meet. The tents and canopy have been taken care of by senior parents, but since the seniors will be on the trip to Florida, other parents are needed for this weekend.
In addition, we need volunteers to help the boys' team during the next 3 to 4 weeks when the girls' and boys' team attend different meets. On April 15 - the boys' team goes to Bridgeton HS for the Bridgeton Relays, on April 21 - part of the boys' team goes to Willingboro HS for the Willingboro Relays, and on May 4 and May 6 the boys' team goes to the SJTCA Carninval at Buena HS.
If we don't get any parent volunteers, then our teams likely will not have the tents and canopy for these meets - and they really are needed - just ask anyone on the team who was at the Buena Relays last Saturday during one of the "scattered showers".
Thanks for your support of the teams!

CLEANUP DAY
Thanks to all those parents who braved the not so spring-like weather and helped make our Annual Field Cleanup Day a great success. We had a great turn-out this year. The Stadium grounds and Concession Stand were cleaned up, the hurdles fixed, the discus, shot and long jump areas worked on and cleaned up, and new markings painted on the track. We're now ready for the season to begin!

There will be a clothing sale starting at 6:30 pm to purchase Track clothing (sweatshirts, T-Shirts, warm-up suits, singlets, etc).
The parent’s meeting will follow starting at 7:00 pm. At the meeting, parents will be able to meet the coaches, learn more about the parents’ booster club, sign up to help out with our annual Field Cleanup Day, get schedules and directions to the meets, sign up for team photos, get information about running shoes/spikes, and find out about Team Pizza Parties and the Team Banquet. As this will be the only Parents’ Meeting held during the season, at least one parent/guardian for each team member is requested to attend. Team members are invited to attend, but it's not necessary.

PENN RELAYS
We'll have girls relay teams and a boys relay teams entered in the 2005 Penn Relays. This is one of the world's largest track events in the country, so if you have a chance, try to go. It really is unique event in the world of track & field.
Our teams will be running in the "South Jersey Small School" bracket. I believe we'll be running 4x100m relay and 4x400m relay teams for both boys and girls. If so, the girls will be running on Thursday April 28, and the boys on Friday April 29 (4x100m) and Saturday April 30 (4x400m).
