STATE....One Heart One Team!

Wow!!! I can't truly express how proud I am of this team. As you can imagine it was an emotional week for all of us and to be able to come back and focus on the meet and perform as well as we did was outstanding. And the beauty is we still have room for improvement! :)

This is our last official week of the season and it will be busy. Please, please, please make sure your daughter is getting rest and keeping their normal schedule.

We are going to have "spirit week" at school this week to help draw attention to the girls for the state meet so please note the clothing schedule as well (competitors and non-comptitors please dress up)

Monday                   3:30-5:45      
*JV Open Gym
Spirit Week - Spirit Pack Blue Shirt

Tuesday                   3:30-5:30
Spirit Week - March in jacket

Wednesday             3:30-5:30
*JV Open Gym

Thursday                3:30-5:30

STATE @ Thornton High School
Meet at TBD                           9:00am
Breakfast at The Egg & I        10:00am
(Thornton Pkwy & Washington)
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!

Weekly Schedule

Hi All,

WOW! What an exciting and awesome league meet!! Both teams are Front Range League Champions and we set a new season high (and our highest team score since 2013) with a 187.2!

It should be an exciting couple of weeks as we compete at Regionals and State. 

Weekly Schedule

Monday
Practice   3:30-6:00pm 
JV Open Gym 3:30-6:00pm 

Tuesday
Practice 3:30-5:30pm 

Wednesday
Practice  3:30-5:45pm 
JV Open Gym (not mandatory)

Thursday
Practice  3:30-5:30pm 

Saturday
Regionals at Mountain Range HS - We ended up being the #2 seed for regionals (this is based on the average of our top-3 team scores from the year) and will be at the Mountain Range HS regional against #5 Mountain Range, #8 Ponderosa, #11 Lakewood, #14 Bear Creek, #17 Chatfield and #20 Loveland. There will also be four 4A schools competing against each other in the 4A division. 

In order to qualify for state one of two things must happen: #1 - we finished in the top-2 at our regional meet (our goal) and automatically qualify or #2- if we finish out of the top-2 than we must have one the next highest 6 teams scores from any region to qualify. As you can see, if we don’t do well at Regionals than we don’t qualify for State so it’s a very important meet for us. 

8:00am Arrive at MRHS
8:15am Open Gym 
8:55am Timed Warm Ups (2 events)
9:50am Opening Ceremonies
10:00am Competition Begins

Our event order - Vault, Beam, Bars, Floor
We will warm up two events, compete two events so there will be a 50 minute break mid-day for the second warm up session. 

Sandwiches - I need a volunteer to help me coordinate sandwiches. The team will pay for them (no expense to you) but would like help placing an order for sandwich trays, picking them up and bringing to the meet. If you can assist me with this please email me! 
Snacks - Peyton
Drinks - Abby Holbrook

Weekly Schedule

What a great TEAM win on Saturday at the Cherry Creek Invite. Every tenth counts and that was certainly the case as we squeaked it out by only a .5!! A fun and exciting week that will conclude at the Front Range League Championship meet on Wednesday and is sadly the last official week of the season for some of our teammates. I'll notify those that we would like to stay on for the Regional and League meet at the end of the week. Looking forward to another great week!

NO PRACTICE! Enjoy the long weekend and rest!

Friday
The girls have asked that we attend a haunted house as a team (as we've done in year's past). This is by no means mandatory but a fun event that both Allie and I will be attending.

We will be going to Haunted Field of Screams in Thornton (104th & Riverdale) and will carpool together. Tickets are $24pp.

 The plan will be to meet somewhere in Broomfield (possibly PDRC or a quick serve dinner restaurant) at 7pm and head down. Hopefully by going early we can avoid a really long line and be back to Broomfield at a decent time. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Off Season Practice
I know many are curious about off-season practices and while I don't have them confirmed it's looking like we will do a short session in December at PDRC on Monday and Wednesday's from 3:30-6:00pm. They will continue in January and depending on participation we may try and add an additional third practice. I'll keep everyone posted.

Secret Sister Week
It's been a long tradition (15+ years) that we have secret sister week. On Thursday the girls drew names and are to bring three gifts this week. We don't want this to pose a burden on anyone so we encourage girls to be creative and use their imagination. The guidelines are as follows:
    Tuesday - small gift #1 ($5 or less)
    Thursday - small gift #2 ($5 or less)
    Saturday - big gift & reveal ($15 or less)

If you have any questions please let me know

Meet Set Up
Saturday will be the 34th Annual Broomfield Invitational, one of the longest running high school meets in the state. Because this is our meet we are responsible for set up, running and clean up. We co-host with Mountain Range at their school because they have the equipment and space but we need all hands on deck to help. Set up is mandatory so please plan on attending. We usually get the gym set up fairly quickly and our goal is to have the girls out of there by 5pm.

3:30-5:00pm at Mountain Range HS - park/drop off at the back of the school near the tennis courts

Broomfield Invitational - at Mountain Range High School 
Arrive by 7:45am (open gym is at 8:00am)
March In at 9:35am
Competition begins around 9:50am
Awards approximately 3:00pm

We will warm up two events then compete those two events. There will be an hour break around 12pm of the second warm up session and then the conclusion of the meet.

Our competition order is Vault-Beam-Bars-Floor

This will be gate admission charged $5 adults / $4 students & seniors

Sandwiches - Kelsey
Snacks - Heather
Drinks - Sarah

I know that Saturday is homecoming at a few schools, this happens most years and the following is our policy on attendance. All girls are required to be at the competition for the entire day but I usually release those going to the dance after the completion of our final event (floor). Please understand I can't simply dismiss the entire team as we need to be there to help clean up the gym and for awards. This year's meet is a few teams smaller than last year so there's a chance we might be completely done by 2:30-3:00pm but of course I can't guarantee a time. There is plenty of down time at an invite so most years girls bring their curling irons and start getting ready at the school. Please make plans accordingly and be realistic with your time (i.e. don't schedule group pictures for 3pm because in all likely hood you will still be at the gym).
