Mud Mountain Committee Meets Tonight

Just a reminder, the Mud Mountain committee will meet briefly tonight at 6:30 pm at Imo's. The meeting shouldn't last very long, but there are a couple of important items we need to discuss. One is a contract received from the Edwardsville Fire Department for the ambulance and paramedics. We also need to distribute posters that have been printed to publicize the race. Other items on the agenda: T-shirt design, revised sponsor list, flyers, and registration update. See you there. Thanks!

Posters to promote Mud Mountain unveiled at planning meeting

Posters to promote Mud Mountain XIII were unveiled at last night's meeting of the Mud Mountain committee. The posters will feature photos from previous races, and will be posted at high traffic businesses in the area. The committee also decided to mail entry forms to runners who entered the 2007 race, and to email entries to previous online registrants.

Help needed at middle school conference meet

Lincoln Track Coach Matt Rogers is putting out a desperate plea for help at this week's middle school conference meet, hosted by Lincoln at Liberty Middle School on Thursday April 24 at 1:30 pm. Coach Rogers' wife is being induced tomorrow, so he will not be able to attend the meet, and is asking for any booster club parents (middle school or high school) to please help out with field events, and as timers. If you are able to volunteer this Thursday, please contact Lincoln coach Courtney Hochuli at chochuli@ecusd7.org, or show up at the meet between 1:15 and 1:30 pm.

Any help that you can provide will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks to volunteers

Thank you to all of the parents and volunteers that helped out on Tuesday with our Triangular Meet against Cahokia and Belleville East. It is your support and dedication that help us to be so successful and maintain such high level of meets. Trust me, there is no way to express how much coaches appreciate being able to coach and spend time with their athletes then run events and time. Everyone did a great job and I greatly appreciate the help!

Timers, field assistants needed for home meet tomorrow

The EHS Boy's Track and Field Team will host their first home track meet for the 2008 season. We are scheduled to start at 4:00. We are looking for any parents willing to assist with timing or working field events. We have three teams competing and need to cover the triple jump, long jump, high jump, pole vault, shot, and possibly discus. We also have 6 timing spots to cover. Any parents who can lend a hand, your help is appreciated. Please email or call Coach Patrylak if you are available. Email: gpatrylak@ecusd7.org. Telephone: 567-5792. Thank you in advance for your help and we hope to see you Tuesday.
