Spring Track Weekly Update
We hope everyone had a great long weekend. It is hard to believe that this is the final week of our season. Here is our schedule.
Tuesday - DQ Run!!!!! We plan on running from WMS to DQ in Natick for an ice cream. Team members need to bring a few dollars with them if they want an ice cream. We will jog/run/walk back to WMS by 3:45. Please plan on picking up your child at WMS between 3:45 and 4:00.
**In order to take part in the DQ Run, each person needs to return a permission slip. Thanks to those who have done so already. If you need a copy of the permission slip, please click on the link below to access it. You can print it out, sign it and return it to a coach tomorrow.
Click Here for the DQ Permission Slip Form
**If the weather is poor, we will change our DQ Run to Thursday.
Wednesday - Final meet of the season against Stony Brook MS (Westford). This will be our final meet and it takes place at Stony Brook MS in Westford (9 Farmer's Way). Seeing that Wednesday is an early release, track team members will report to the coaches' class rooms until the buses arrive. It is our hope that the buses will be available at 1:30 to bring us to Westford, but we will not know until later in the day tomorrow. Otherwise, we will leave Wayland at 2:30 and the meet should begin around 4:00. Westford is a long drive, so we will not be back to WMS until 6:30.
Thursday - DQ Run (rain date)
**Thanks to everyone for a great season. We hope your child enjoyed the team and we would encourage everyone to pursue the sport next year at WMS or at the high school. In addition, all 6th and 7th graders are encouraged to join the WMS Cross Country Team next Fall. Details to follow...

Spring Track Weekly Update
We hope everyone had a nice weekend. Here is the schedule for the week (it is a busy one).

Tuesday - Practice at Wayland High School from 2:30-4:00.
