- NO TEAM DINNER ON FRIDAY, APRIL 7: In order to reduce costs and since we’re coming off of a week of spring break togetherness, there will NOT be a team dinner on Friday, April 7. Athletes participating in the regatta should have a healthy dinner on their own and lots of sleep to prepare for racing!
- OPTIONAL PARTICIPATION: We know that previous messaging indicated that this would be a weekend free from crew activities. And as a result, families may have made other plans. We want to encourage you to make the best choice for your family! While the team is being adaptive by finding a way to get in this unique racing opportunity, we acknowledge that family time/trips are as beneficial to student-athletes as racing! If you have any questions about participating in this regatta, please feel free to reach out to your/your athlete’s coaches.
- **IMPORTANT** FORMS REQ’D PRIOR TO TRAVEL: If you are planning to drive or carpool with others to the regatta this weekend and you did not submit forms last week, please do so now. Forms can be turned in to Molly or Coach Eric (aka Coach Dad) at practice. Find all the necessary forms here: FCPS Transportation Forms. If you are unsure if you have turned in the form or you have any questions, please contact Jenn Ros via Slack or at [email protected]
- GET YOUR UNIFORM IF YOU HAVEN’T YET!: Please make arrangements with Cheryl Urban, Sportswear Chair, via Slack or email ([email protected]) if athletes still need to pick up uniform items before traveling this weekend.
