Key Facts

"Running is the greatest metaphor for life, because you get out of it what you put into it."

Communication

One of the biggest concerns for the team, both on and off the track, is communication. The communications between parents, players and coaches is so very crucial to the success of the team and the individual players. We will communicate via phone calls, text messages, emails and posting news items on Edline. But the success of practices, races, and other events hinge on successfully communicating with each other. Please feel welcome to...

Contact Coach Katie Wendt at katie_wendt@lusherschool.org or 309-738-7770.

Practices

We will be having practices Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday after school starting at 3:45 pm and ending approximately at 5:00. These times are subject to change. Please wear appropriate attire and shoes. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact Coach Wendt or Coach Landrum.

Commitment to excellence and safety

**All participants must be cleared with-physical exam and forms completed with signatures-they must be turned in to Coach Landrum before competing in race . If any forms are needed, please see Coach Landrum**

I expect players to want to be the best and not be satisfied with mediocrity. This should be reflected as much in school as on the track.

For safety reasons IPOD’s/ Zunes/ MP3 players will not be allowed during practice.

Attendance

I expect players to attend, at the minimum, 90% (with some exceptions) of the practices held, including team meetings, conditioning practices, meets, etc. In the event that a player cannot attend a team activity, I would like to be informed the day before the activity from which he/ she will be absent.

Exceptions will be made for illnesses and emergencies and predetermined circumstances (another sport, the play, etc).
The consequences for unexcused absences will be a team decision and will be discussed on a need be basis.
