With unfortunately not a lot of participants in the Doodle Poll the most favored time slot is
Tuesday October 10 from 6:00 – 7:00 pm. Meeting will be in room J-109 at Nevada Union.
If you cannot make this meeting but are still interested in the Nordic Team please contact Coach Derek McKay directly.
We handed out a lot of flyers today trying to recruit new team members. If you are visiting this page for the first time and want to find out more about the team you should explore the menus. You may want to read the following.
Contact the coach if you have any remaining questions.
We will hold a meeting for parents of all interested athletes during the week of Oct 11-14. The exact date and time will be the most popular preference in the Doodle Poll. Please vote by indicating all of the dates and times you are available. We will do our best to get through the material in an hour but will be available afterwards for any questions that may still remain.
The original notice said that the poll would close at 5 pm Wednesday October 4. NOTE CHANGE: Poll will close at 11 pm Tuesday October 3. It was necessary to move this time so that details of the meeting could be published in the NU Daily Bulletin before the end of the week.
While aimed at parents, all athletes are most welcome to attend and particularly newcomers who want to learn about the sport.
To coordinate the Fall Training sessions scheduled before school a new Doodle Poll has been set up. The general pattern is that Nordic Track workouts take place on Tuesdays and Thursdays while Beginner Roller Skiing is on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. If you plan to attend a session please sign up on Doodle by 10 pm the evening before. If no one has signed up then there is very likely not going to be a coach!! When you sign up on Doodle please remember to Save your changes. It is always a good idea to go back and see if you really did sign up. In previous years, athletes would swear they had signed up but because they had not saved the changes no one else knew!
All activities require that the athlete be cleared for school sports. Get your paperwork in to the Student Store. I generally get an updated list of cleared athletes about once a week, so if it has been less than a week since you got cleared please bring the the pink/purple sheet with you to your first session. We also need a completed Consent to Treat form for Nordic Skiing.
Sessions start at 7:30 am and are generally done by 8:15 am so you can cool down and get to class.
Think of places we can put this poster and let me know.
Need to get the word out on this. Contact me if you have questions. Starting Tuesday 29 August. Think of places where we can put the poster.
Most of you already know Murphy’s Law. If anything can go wrong it will. Sometimes I feel that this is too optimistic. I was away all last week and the moment I was 100 miles away both the team web-server and the team mail server lost connection to the Internet. Despite the best efforts of my neighbor we were unable to get things going till this after noon when I returned.
Sorry for any inconvenience. I will work on some more remote access tools so I can fix things without being here.
Erika was interviewed by The Union yesterday and they published the story behind the Triathlon late this evening.
For those of you who have not yet signed up to compete or volunteer – get moving.
For the first time on 22 years the Lady Miners Team was on the podium at State Championships.
