Mohican, Team Pictures, and Captains!

Today was the first official day of organized practice, and with it came lots of exciting stuff! First up is Mohican:

The Mohican trip is THIS WEEKEND. We will be meeting at Cahoon, near the brown shed, on Sunday, August 3, at 11:30am. There we will be packing cars and hopefully heading out by noon. We will make the return trip on Tuesday, late morning. Parents have been receiving lots of emails about the trip, and everyone who is bringing tents, food, or driving, should know the specifics for what they signed up for. We have 29 girls coming with us this year, and are expecting great weather! Some important items to remember to pack include:

• Running clothes (wear some on Sunday for the drive down since we will be running right away after arriving at Mohican)
• Running shoes (possibly 2 pairs if you have them)
• flip-flops/sandals
• bath suit
• towels
• toiletries (including shampoo/soap/toothpaste/toothbrush/deoderant...)
• extra pony-tail holders--you won't think about it until the one you brought breaks! Bring extras just in case!
• any medications you may take
• a chair to sit on around the camp fire
• sleeping bag, pillow, blanket
• sweatshirt/sweat pants (the evenings look like they may get cool--bring extra warm clothes just in case)
• extra snacks you may want
• sunscreen and bug spray

You will not need to bring your cell phone--we're not banning them, but you will not need them. Don't risk your phone getting wet or lost. There is also poor cell service down at Mohican anyways, so you won't be able to use your phone, regardless. Parents and coaches on the trip will have their phones, in case we need to make calls.The coaches are very excited for our inaugural Mohican trip, and cannot wait to see what the girls have in store for us!

Next, team photos will take place on Friday, August 8. Our time slot is from 2:45-3:30pm. Photo packets/order forms were handed out at practice today. We have extras, so let us know if you still need one.

Finally, congratulations to our team captains who were voted on today! The vote was very close, and so this year we ended up with 6 awesome girls who are ready to represent our team! Congratulations Carleigh Walter, Katherine Kerka, Lauren Uram, Lea Flanagan, Maddie Voiers, and Sarah Evans!
