Winter Classic Time, Get Excited! Sign up for Timing!

Hi Sturgeon Winter Classic Squad!

Prepare yourself for a long email with lots of information. I am going to attempt to condense it into a somewhat lengthy email. But as you all know condensing is not my strong suit. Please see the attached files they contain all the relevant meet information especially the Team/Parent Information Briefing. 

First up warm-up, arrival, and estimated finish times of the sessions:

Sat. AM: 

Arrive @ 8:25am

Warm-up: 8:40-9:00am

Meet Timeline: 9:25am ~ 12:50pm

Sat. PM:

Arrive @ 1:25pm

Warm-up: 1:40-2:00pm

Meet Timeline: 2:45pm ~ 6:05pm

Sun. AM:

Arrive @ 8:05am

Warm-up: 8:20-8:40am

Meet Timeline: 9:25am ~ 12:45pm

Sun. PM

Arrive @ 1:45pm

Warm-up: 2:00-2:20pm

Meet Timeline: 2:45 ~ 5:45pm

Next order of business is job assignments for our team. We have 2 timers positions to fill on both Sat. AM and Sun. AM sessions and 1 timer position to fill in the Sun. PM session. It would be nice to have relief timers for these roles as well. Therefore, we essentially need 6 people over the weekend to sign-up for these roles. Please see the jobs sign-up sheet I have created for this and sign-up.

Other important tid-bits:

  • No parents or spectators on the deck unless you are serving as a timer or official. If you want a front row seat to the action you need to sign-up to time or officiate. 
  • No photography behind the blocks, even in the spectator area, there are signs, please obey them. 
  • Safe sport bathroom compliance: Spectators use the bathrooms upstairs. Swimmers use the locker rooms. Coaches/meet helpers use the bathrooms in the hallway near the snack bar. 
  • Paid Parking is available on site, please only have small bills $5s, $10s, and $20s. 
  • There is parking is off-site, please see attached parking information and map.
  • There is a live streaming of the meet for those that want to watch from afar, information attached below. 
  • K&B Sportswear will be onsite Saturday incase you need any swimming gift options for your swimmer.
  • Ink-factory will be there all meet if your swimmer wants to purchase a meet t-shirt.
  • The snack bar will be open for concessions for all the sessions of the meet.

Alright not too bad, I have come to the close of the email. Not too many words, just enough in my opinion. I likely forgot something, so please read through this information for comprehension. It's a lot but it is all there. Please feel free to ask questions anytime. Also please be my hero and sign-up to time. Oh and if for some reason you can't make it to the meet, let me know ASAP 612-222-4526 call or text. 

Coach Kari, Taylor, and I are so excited to be there for you this weekend! We are getting excited for some fun and fast racing!

Go Sturgeons!
