Updates/Reminders for this Week

Posted byUSC Cross CountryPosted inUncategorizedTags:, ,

Lots of new info today – read on for all the details!

  • Pasta dinner TONIGHT! The Ruiz family will host at their home – thank you! Start time is 6:00 PM (1522 Hastings Mill Rd 15241)
  • Next week’s pasta dinner is Monday, September 21st, and our hosts are the DiPiazzas. Here is the signup for meal items! Remember that store bought items are MORE than fine – no need to do homemade unless that is your jam! Sign up here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/5080845A4AA2DA7FF2-65139443-2026
  • Tomorrow, 9/16 – Home meet: For new families, the home course is located at the Upper St. Clair Community & Recreation Center 
  • The coaches still need 6 parent volunteers to stand at certain places along the course to make sure both USC and Norwin are on the correct path.  This is a pretty easy job, as you will stand at a specific location as athletes race by.   There are 3 places where the volunteers would make sure cars do not interfere as athletes race by.  This would involve a time commitment from 3:50pm(or earlier)-5:00pm (at latest) while the races occur.  Since we are having the race chip timed, we won’t need much help at the start of the race and the finish line. Please email the coaches to volunteer (dpetrick@uscsd.k12.pa.us, mchermak@uscsd.k12.pa.us ) 
  • Captains from both teams will review sportsmanship pledge with starter before senior rec at 3:30pm near the start of races.
  • SHORT Senior Rec will occur from 3:35pm-3:45pm.
  • *** Girls and boys races in separate races.  
  • Girls Race will occur at 4pm.  
  • Boys Race starts around 4:30pm or when girls race finishes.
  • Map/Start Finish Location:

Don’t forget, Chick-Fil-A Spirit Night is this Thursday!
