Booster Club Meeting, Monday, April 3rd

Monday, April 3rd at 7:00p.m. will be the next Track & Field Booster Club Meeting. It will be held in Room C110 at EHS. We really need to bolster membership and attendance in the Track & Field Booster Club. While for the athletes track may be a pretty inexpensive sport, the equipment is very costly. We need new blood and ideas to make the booster club viable for the future. Please make every effort to attend.

The Code of Conduct Meeting for Spring Sports will take place this Wednesday, March 8th at 2:10p.m.(TOMORROW) This meeting is mandatory. BE ON TIME!!! Do not talk to your friends or boyfriends after class, do not move your car, do not go to the locker room. Head directly to the auditorium. The meeting will take 10-15 minutes and they you will go immediately to the locker room and change and come right out so we can start practice. It is also a Mindset day as we don’t have school that Monday. So the longer you take the longer your practice will be that day.

Southern IL H.S. Girls Invitational

What a meet we had this Friday in Carbondale against some top competition in Morgan Park, Freeburg, and others. We had some outstanding performances and we also have some things we need to work on. In all this meet could go a long way toward setting the tone for a great season. No team scores were kept. The top six individuals or relays were awarded prizes. Great job ladies and coaches.
