Bulldog Harriers Begin 2014 Campaign!

The Bulldogs have gotten off to a rocky start this season due to a myriad of injuries hitting the varsity squad, including a stress fracture to #1 Mark Bond, a bone chip in Brandon Britton's foot, IT band syndrome for Devon Boone, shin splints for Seth Webster.  It's early in the season, though, and the Bulldogs will be fighting back.  Despite these setbacks, the dogs have had some very impressive individual performances, especially from junior Hari Sathyamurthy, who has broken the five-minute barrier in his hokum mile repeats.  The team has also had some promising results from its contingent of freshman.  With the 5K season right around the corner, the team looks to get healthy, stronger, and have great results!

BULLDOG X-COUNTRY

SUMMER CONDITIONING:  We will have voluntary conditioning practices beginning Thursday, June 12 so we can ready for a successful season in the fall.  They will be held Monday through Friday at the following times: 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Tuesday & Thursday; 9 AM until 10:15 AM or so Monday, Wednesday, & Friday at (Blastoff Playground).  We will meet in a shelter at the back of the park.  Attendance is strongly encouraged.

FIRST PRACTICE:  The 1^st mandatory practice will be Monday, August 5 from 3:10 PM until 4:45 PM at school.  You MUST have a physical on file with the athletic dept. prior to this practice, or you may drop it off to Coaches Neylon or Eakle at practice.  You may pick up all forms from the high school athletic dept. or from Coach Neylon.  Do not schedule vacations over fall break. (We have varsity meets)                                               

Camp: We will have our day camps at Brown County State Park on the days of July 26 & 28. These are day camps, but most everyone will spend 2 or 3 nights in tents with parental supervision.  More information will be provided later.

SUMMER MILEAGE:  Keep in mind that you will be much more successful if you put in many miles over the summer. Getting together with your teammates and coming to conditioning will make this much easier and more fun.  Make sure you keep track of your mileage all summer.  Our mileage competition, with awards at season’s end, begins JULY 4.  Turn in your mileage at our first practice.

                                       

                       

                                       

Parent Volunteers: Part of our success comes from the help of the parents, from helping at camp

to being our main fans at the meets. We could use help in the following areas:

·        volunteer coordinator

·        snacks for meets

·        locker decorations

·        end of season banquet

We will have sign-up sheets at our early-season parent meeting as well as e-mails requesting your help.

** We will have meets during fall break. Absences from these meets

will be unexcused. Please schedule outings after 2 p.m. Saturdays.

** Call Coach Neylon if you have any questions at 286-3355 or e-mail at
