Thank you to everyone who came out to support our runners. The athletes have been working so hard, it’s great to see them in action.
Thank you to our parent volunteers, with you as coarse guides these runners had a better advantage to run their best, especially for some of the runners, it was only their second time on the course.
Stay tuned for details about Wednesday’s Race at West Torrance at 6:45 PM
NEW BUSINESS
Your Athlete has been asked to participate in our team fundraiser called “Snapraise.” It is an online-based fundraiser where the student-athlete contacts prospective donors via email about our team’s needs.
Success is not defined as being the fastest person on the team, in fact, success in cross country takes time, time to learn, and time to train. With high student academic responsibilities, the delicate balancing act is quite a challenge. The willingness and devotion each of our athletes requires is a major commitment. Every team member is required to meet all these expectations. Unfortunately, we fall short financially but with this fundraiser, we will be able to meet our financial goals.
It is not mandatory and there is no penalty for not participating in the team fundraiser. We are hoping that our student-athletes will work hard to support their team in reaching its fundraising goals.
NEW FAN GEAR
Orders due by March 20th
Follow this link here https://redondoxctf2021.itemorder.com/sale and can also be found under Cross Country menu.
Items shipped directly to you.
Thank you for your support and Go Sea Hawks!

Once the race begins the athlete may toss the mask to the side or adjust the mask below the chin. And adjust it accordingly during the race. A volunteer will collect the discarded masks and dispose of them. After the finish, a volunteer will distribute new masks to the runners to be worn once they leave the finish area.
Family members are allowed to spectate. We ask that family members maintain proper distancing of 6 feet. And all spectators must wear masks.
*Once the race is completed please make any visit with the kids brief. They will change back into their training flats and do their team warm down together. This is important both physically and emotionally. Please allow this to occur. I am not very mobile yet. With the races stacked on top of each other, I will be primarily on the course. I do not want to spend my time shoeing parents out of the warm-up area. Help me out on this.
It is advised to have a light meal a few hours before the race. Something like oatmeal with fruit and toast. If they prefer to eat a more typical meal build in a little more time before the race, 3-4 hours. There will be no concessions available. Bring your own healthy snacks. There is a small market a few blocks away. Eat a typical healthy meal the night before. No need to carbo-load. And start hydrating the day before along with the morning of the race. Carlos will provide Gatorade to our athletes. He will be set up next to our warm-up field.
There is one restroom at the field. The porta potties have been removed. Athletes need to budget their time before races accordingly. Even in a small meet like this, there will be a line. Make sure you plan for extra time in line. We will have extra toilet paper. Parents, try to use the restroom before leaving home. If possible, try to avoid the park facility if the line is long. It will shorten after the start of each race. There also are restrooms at the market and the gas station down the street.
This will be the first athletic contest allowed in LA County in a year. It is a privilege to compete for our proud high school. We have amazing kids who will perform well and represent the school with pride. If you happen to be near a Palos Verdes coach or volunteer make sure to thank them for hosting this first event. They are very nice people that are putting in their time and effort to host a great meet for our kids.

To Do List for A Happy and Healthy New Year
Posted on January 3, 2021 - Filed Under New items | Leave a Comment
Dear Families,
we hope you are all healthy and that we will see each other in person soon – or at least the athletes.
With school starting on Monday, please note:
- On Monday, Coach Bob will be conducting a zoom meeting/check-in in order for athletes to get credit for their PE in school and to provide guidance on where to find the training plan. If the athlete’s last name starts with A-M, the check-in is at 12:00 pm. If the athlete’s last name starts with N-Z, the check-in is at 12:15 pm.
- If your child is part of the Redondo Premier Track Club, please make sure to pay the January fee of $50 (and any previous missed payments) by January 10th. All payments need to be made via Venmo, @Bob-Leetch or https://venmo.com/code?user_id=2348754438979584485 or exact cash. No checks, please.
- For the athletes that are in the Redondo Premier Track Club, practice is at 3:00 pm at Veteran’s park. By now, I guess we no longer have to remind athletes to wear a face mask and stay in your pods. Please remember that backpacks are unattended (and there are homeless people that might look for change) in the park and only necessary items should be brought. No money or phones should be left in the park.
- Please make sure that your child’s USATF membership is current and renewed so that your child is insured.
Happy New Year! Every athlete hates this situation but at least it is great weather in California to train outside year-around. So just stay safe, don’t come to practice if there is the slightest chance you were exposed, and keep up the great attitudes that the runners showed so far. Our athletes can be proud of the way they handled themselves so far.

Dear Families,
we are not asking for donations for obvious reasons, however, if you are about to order stuff from Amazon, please add this one step:

2021 Here we come, here they run….
Posted on December 15, 2020 - Filed Under New items | Leave a Comment
Dear Families,
as we are finally coming towards the end of this bizarre and frustrating 2020, here are some updates that paint a better picture for the future.
- Coach Bob had three surgeries, infections, and another visit to the emergency room this week. As everything that could possibly go wrong has already gone wrong, let’s assume Bob is finally on his path to recovery. His hands and fingers are fine, he can type, and I have no doubt he would love to hear from the athletes. Bob won’t be as good as new by the time the season starts because….
- the Season might actually start January 25! The situation will be reassessed on January 4 but as that is my birthday, I am funneling all my birthday gift energy towards good news. 🙂
- Athletes, keep staying in shape and keep your great attitude. Wear that dang mask and just think you might save somebody’s life by doing the correct thing – who can claim that, really?
