Information for First Week of School

Posted on August 30, 2010 - Filed Under New items | Leave a Comment

Dear Parents,
Please read the following information about the locker situation at RUHS due to construction. Currently there are no lockers available for use. We hope this situation will change as construction on the field house is finished. Until lockers are available, ALL boys and NEW girls are to head directly to the track immediately after period 5 tomorrow. They will meet Bob at the top of the track and the kids will change in the restrooms that are located there. They will be locking their items in a storage shed located at the top of the track. Please DO NOT bring valuables as we can not guarantee their safety. Bob shared this information with the team at practice today but I wanted to let parents know the plan. The locker rooms should be available sometime next week hopefully. Each student needs to purchase a lock for their locker in order to secure their belongings once the lockers become available. This can happen any day so they should bring the lock with them each day to practice so they are prepared when lockers are assigned.

It is important that every parent/student read and understand the track contract which was handed out at the Alumni Race last Saturday. We will be handing another copy out on Thursday to each athlete and discussing it with the team. Signed contracts are due back to me by Tuesday, September 8.

Practice schedule this week will be different due to the modified schedule the first week of school.
Tuesday and Wednesday: Practice will begin during Period 6 about 2:20 and continue after school. Athletes will be done around 4:30
Thursday: Practice will begin during period 6 about 1:20 and continue until 3:30-4:00PM
Friday: Practice will begin after school as there is no period 6 that day at 3:15 and continue until 5:00-5:30.

On most normal weeks with no modified bell schedules the APPROXIMATE practice schedule is as follows (remember these are approximate times ) During weeks of League and Invitational meets there will be modifications to the training schedule so practice may end 30 minutes earlier or later depending on the meet schedule.

Monday: Practice begins during Period 6 at 2:15 and will end about 4:30-5:00
Tuesdays and Thursdays: Practice begins during period 6 at 1:15 and continue until 3:30-4:00
Wednesdays and Fridays: Practice will not begin until after school at 3:15 and will continue until 5:00PM-5:30 PM

There is practice next Monday (Labor Day) It will be in the early morning like the summer practices. We will inform athletes this week on the exact time and location.

It was great to see so many families cheering on the team during their first race of the season! It was exciting to see so many runners cross the finish line in their first cross country race. Hearing the cow bells, seeing the line of red and hearing all the cheering really helps inspire them!

The Great Cow Run – Cerritos Cross Country

Results: Annual RUHS Alumni XC Race

Posted on August 28, 2010 - Filed Under Bay League, CIF, Cross Country, Redondo Beach, Redondo Union, Sea Hawk Stadium | Leave a Comment

The results for this year’s Alumni Cross Country Race are now posted in the Meet Results section to the right. You will find the link at the bottom of the Meet Results page, click on it, and it will take you to the results in pdf file format. Note that, depending on your computer, the display may be very large, so adjust it to a smaller size for easier viewing. I prefer 75%.

The score at the top of the page shows that our current team swept the first 5 places, scoring 15 points to the aging alumni’s 104. Yes, it was a massacre. All I can say, is that I hope you kids treat your parents better than you treated these doddering, slow moving alums.

The results include the placing of each individual, their name, and their race time. Also, there is a column titled “Seconds Back”, that shows how many seconds each person was behind the race winner, Tyler Caracoza.

Additionally, since this was a short 2.8 mile course, there is a column titled “Conversion to 3 Mile Time”, that shows what your time would have been had you run this same pace for a full 3 miles. In calculating this time, it was necessary to display it across 3 columns, caluclating the minutes seperately from the seconds, as Excel does not do the kind of math needed to display the converted time as a time. Excel also does not display whole numbers with a zero in front of them. As a result, you will see that all the times in this column with the seconds lower than 10, display as a single number, for example a 19:03 time displays as 19:3. Everything else looks like a real time.

The 7 alumni (actually, 6 alumni and one ringer) are highlighted in bold text to make them easier to find, and their post-Redondo Union school is listed in the far right column.

All told, it was a very nice day to have a cross country race and sell food to Pop Warner Football parents. The results show that the 2010 season is definitely underway and based on today’s promising performances, this promises to be another fine year in the rise of Redondo Union as a dominate cross country power.

Next up, in 2 weeks on Saturday September 11th, the Great Cow Run. The gun goes off for the first race at 8:00 AM. See you all there. http://cerritosxc.weebly.com/20103.html
