Transportation
We are taking 2 school vans and will be able to fit the 8 girls running and 1 boy running in those buses. We will have spots for 2 boys and 2 girls not running on Saturday.  We have several girls who want to be with the team. At this point we would have to leave some girls behind, as a team I would love to have all these girls to come down. So we are asking any parents who plan on coming down if they could possibly carpool our runners. Do any of our parents plan on staying down on Friday night? If so, is there room to bring four girls down?

Hotel
The boosters are providing hotel rooms for the 9 runners. There is no charge for these rooms. We have an additional 1 room for the girls who plan on coming down. The room is $133 and will have to be paid for by the runners themselves. The final price per girl will depend on the number or girls that can come down.



Costs
$8 admission charge for all spectators: May purchase at tickleap.com
Girls Running on Saturday: $20-$30 lunch/snacks and any additional spending money.

Girls Not Running: Somewhere between $20-$30 for hotel costs. The admission for the race is $7 for everyone not running the race. Plan on $20-$30 for dinner and any additional spending money.

There are shirts for sale at the event.


Team Dinner
Could we have a dinner on Thursday? 

Food for Tent
Last year our parents brought an amazing selection of food and after a long day the kids are really hungry after the race. Can we have a sign up of food for Saturday? Many teams have sandwiches, fruit, snacks, water, etc....it is great for our runners and provides a "Spring Lake" location. What do you think?

On Saturday we would love to have a big group of spectators cheering on our Lakers, so please bring all that you can!

As I have stated so many times before, our cross country parents are absolutely the best. It has been a few years since we have had a team make it team state and I truly believe our girls have a shot of doing really well on Saturday....all the support would be awesome!

Please let me know if you can help drive and/or provide food for Saturday.

Go Lakers!
