STATE 2013 ... Weekly Schedule

Broomfield Eagles headed to State!! Every year our goal is to still be competing on the last day of the season with a chance to win a state championship, and this year is no different. We didn’t have our best meet of the year at Regionals but it was still enough to pull out the victory and earn our automatic team berth. We are seeded third for state (based on regional qualifying scores) and will know Monday after the CHSAA seeding meeting what our event order will be. Regardless of order, we’ll be ready!

Here’s our schedule for the week including events for state.

In honor of Halloween we are having spirit week this week at practice J Also, the captains have declared it spirit week at school as well to draw attention to our team and state.

Monday
Practice      3:30-5:30pm
80’s/Neon Day

School-Want, Work, Win shirt

Tuesday
Practice       3:30-5:30pm
*Senior Choice (we’ll decide at practice Monday)

School- Heart of a Champion shirt

Wednesday
Practice         3:30-5:30pm
Ninja Day
JV Open Gym

School-Jacket with white tank

Thursday
Practice      3:30-5:15pm
HALLOWEEN-wear your costume

School-Dress up (nice clothes as opposed to costumes J)

Friday
STATE @ Thornton High School
Meet at Melanie Stelling’s                           9:00am
Breakfast at The Egg & I                            10:00am
(Thornton Pkwy & Washington)
Gym Opens for competitors                       1:00pm
March In                                                   2:55pm

Notes – The girls meet at Melanie’s house to do their hair and then can carpool to breakfast. We do ask for a couple of parents to help carpool and attend breakfast so no competitors are driving. Competitor’s breakfast is paid for by the school. Non-competitors are again welcome and encouraged to attend if missing an entire day of school is an option. Non-competitors are responsible for paying for their own breakfast.

Competitors are excused for the entire school day.

We will be given entrance passes for our team Friday when we arrive, I have no idea how many passes we’ll get and won’t know until we arrive. CHSAA is somewhat stingy with passes and there have been times when we only receive enough for the competitors. Please have non-compeitors bring $8 just in case we don’t have extra.

Adult ticket prices are $10 for both Friday & Saturday
Seniors/Students are $8 for both sessions
Adults are $6 for Friday only

Saturday
 Event Finals – if we have girls that finish in the top-15 on any event Friday they will compete in event finals on Saturday.

Open Warm Up      2:00pm
March In                   3:55pm
Competition           4:00pm

Notes-FYI: The way the State meet runs is team and all around results are determined Friday during the team competition. The top-15 finishers on each of the four events then qualify for event finals on Saturday afternoon. We’ll know at the conclusion of the meet Friday who, if anyone, has qualified for Saturday.

The gym is full for the team competition so please plan on arriving early enough to watch your daughter and/or the team and wear your BHS gear…we’ll lay out the banners when we arrive but the stands fill up quickly once the doors open around 2:30pm.


Coaches will buy and provide snacks again for this meet but please be prepared to supplement a little extra for dinner depending on your daughters wants.

Snacks/Drinks - Regionals & State
In previous years we've assigned everyone additional snacks and drinks for the last two meets. This year we'd like to provide the snacks since we feel we have a good knowledge of what the girls like and how much to get so we're asking for the girls still on the competitor team to please bring $20 to practice on Monday. This will cover all snacks, food and drink for the remaining two meets. Both of the remaining meets are long days so the snacks are very much appreciated and consumed by the team. Thanks for your help.

End of Season Banquet
I know it's early but we're looking at two dates for the banquet and hope to finalize within the next week or so. Please mark Thursday, November 21 or Thursday, December 5 as tentative dates.

Weekly Update - 9/23/2013

What a great way to represent at our first Invitational of the season. Invites are always long, tiring days but the girls did great and posted our season high score in route to a second place team finish. After the odd week of practice and cancellation of two meets we (coaches) felt it was a great showing. Thank you to all of the food and drink hosts as there was plenty of snacks and drinks to keep the girls going all day long.

This will be another busy week for us so please be sure everyone is staying on top of their homework and getting lots of rest.

Secret Sister Week
Next week is secret sister week so start thinking ahead and keeping an eye out for fun little gifts for your sister. We'll draw names at the end of this week and each girl is asked to deliver (anonomously) three small ($5 or less) gifts to her sister throughout the week. Then at the Cherry Creek Invite we will reveal our secret sisters along with a large ($10 or less) gift. This is a long standing tradition with our team and is always lots of fun. Remember to be creative....the best gifts usually don't cost anything at all but instead are handmade! We'll explain more to the girls when we draw names.

Race For The Cure
Because the race is a week earlier this year (September 29) I've decided against walking in it as a team because of our long week and hosting our invite Saturday. I'm bummed to miss such a fun event this year but both personally and for the sake of the girls I'm afraid it might be a little too much. Thanks for your understanding and support.


As always please let me know if you have any questions!
