Gym Opens for Competitors 1:00pm
March In 2:55pm
Important Notes: Please know that non-competitors are invited and encouraged to spend the entire day with us on Friday but need to be excused from school by their parents. If girls can't afford to miss the entire day it's completely understandable and they can come to the meet as soon as school is over.
Competitors will be excused from school for the entire day.
The girls will get together before breakfast (I'll confirm location tomorrow) to do their hair before carpooling to breakfast. I'm looking for one additional volunteer to help carpool the girls to breakfast and you are welcome to join us at breakfast as well. Please email me directly if you're interested and can help.
BHS will pay for the competitors breakfast; non-competitors need to bring money for breakfast.
From breakfast we will carpool across the way to Thornton HS. We are given entrance passes from CHSAA and I don't know how many we will be given until I arrive there on Friday. Because we have a larger team there is a chance that I will be short passes and non-competitors may have to pay to get in (this hasn't happened in many years but I'm cautious and like to be prepared). Please bring $12 for an all session student pass just in case.
On Monday morning CHSAA will have the seeding meeting and send out our competition order; I'll let the girls and you know as soon as I do. The state meet format will be warm up 2 events, compete 2 events.
Adult ticket prices are $15 for both Friday (team competition) & Saturday (event finals)
Seniors/Students are $12 for both sessions
Adult single day ticket is $8
Seniors/Students single day ticket is $5
SATURDAY
Event Finals - if we have girls that finish in the top-15 on any event on Friday they will compete in event finals on Saturday. (These results, along with the team results, will be announced Friday night)
Open Warm Up 2:00pm
March In 3:55pm
Competition 4:00pm
Awards (approx.) 6:30pm
STATE MEET FORMAT
Team and all around results are determined during Friday's competition. The top-15 finishers on each event on Friday then qualify for the event finals on Saturday afternoon. If we have qualifiers for Saturday we will be there as a team to support and cheer them on.
The gym on Friday will be FULL so please plan on arriving early. We will do our best to save seats using the BHS banners. CHSAA doesn't love us saving seats so it's always best if some parents can arrive early to help save a parent's section. Don't forget to wear your blue and sit together!
We (coaches) will provide sandwiches for the girls at the meet but would like to ask for a volunteer that can pick them up for us. We are also asking the the competitors bring a snack to share with the team. It's an incredibly long day so having lots of food and water is critical. We've assigned the snacks below:
Coaches - Sandwiches (need a volunteer to PU)
Sarah - Nutella
Heather - Veggie Dip
Kelsey - Crackers
Nicki - Small/Medium Cooler to store the food in
Peyton - Snack of choice
Heidi - Sliced Apples
Sam - Meat Tray
Madeline - Cheese slices (snack size)
Abby - Veggies
Abbi - Sliced Apples
Halle - Drinks
I know this was a LOT of information so please don't hesitate to write me with any additional questions.
This is a fun and exciting week and we alway appreciate your help and support. Please try and keep the girls rested, hydrated, well fed and as stress free as possible!
