| State Meet and End of Season Banquet |
*UPDATE*
The race page had the wrong times for the races this weekend. The times have been fixed on the race page. They are:
12:00 123A Boys
12:45 4A Boys
1:30 123A Girls
2:15 4A Girls
*END UPDATE*
I have only received a couple responses about helping at the state meet this year. Again, thank you for all the time and money donated to the team. The kids really do appreciate it! We have one more weekend that can earn the team some money to help buy uniforms and jackets for future years.
Athletes, we need you too! Please be at Bartlett by 10:30p ready to help. Those that do not have their own transportation, there is a bus scheduled to leave Dimond at 9:50a. It will leave when the awards are over as well.
Two parents have graciously volunteered to help, but need 4-6 more. If you think you can donate some time this Saturday, please email me at normandin_nate@asdk12.org. Please contact me soon so I can get a list of volunteers to Pat Walker who will waive the gate fee for the event. We will need you at Bartlett by 10:30a. There are two major spots Dimond is in charge of. One is the sale of the memoribilia and one is the hospitality tent (keeping the food on the tables).
Lastly, the end of season banquet/party is approaching. October 6th @ 5:30p-7:30p in the Auditeria we will be celebrating the student-athletes' accomplishments as well as handing out the end of season awards. We are ordering pizza and need the other items to be brought by the athletes. Families of the athletes are welcome to join us!
What to bring:
Freshman - Dessert
Sophomores - Salad / Veggies / Fruit
Juniors - Appetizers / Chips
Seniors - Bring yourselves |
| State Meet Volunteers |
Pat Walker has asked if the Dimond Running Team would like to help with the sales of mementos for the state meet at Bartlett Saturday Oct. 1st. The sales occur outside by the start/finish line of the course. We would need 6 volunteers to man the table. Dimond Running team would make 10% of the sales. Last year, there was over $10,000 sold at the state XC Running meet.
Also, we will need about 10 other volunteers to help at the state meet with various jobs. Athletes are more than welcome to help be volunteers for these tasks. In the past, these volunteers helped with finish chute chip collection, and course take down.
Because most of the team does not make it to the state meet, I'm sure we should be able to come up with volunteers to help. Please let me know if you can volunteer your time!
Thank you!
Coach Normandin

| Saturday Practice and Time Trial results |
This is just a reminder that there is practice scheduled for Saturday Morning at 9:00a at Kincaid Chalet Sept. 10th 2011. We will be going in depth about the Region course and looking for a good 4k loop for the duel coming up this week. Also, great job on the time trial today. There was an average of 1min 50sec improvement with everyone that did it a second time. All the coaches were quite impressed with the improvement and hope everyone keeps focused on these crucial last couple weeks before Regions!
See you tomorrow morning! |

Again, we would like to extend a huge thank you to everyone that helped at the race. We could not have done it without you! |
| 2011 Steel Bucket Cup |
Congrats to the Dimond boys team! They won back the bucket cup with their nail biting performance Tuesday evening. Results are posted in the Races section of the website. Here is a picture of the gentlemen with their award! Unfortunately, the bucket it is painted West High school colors. I think it's time for the bucket to receive a new paint job!
Way to go! Link to the KTUU story
The coaches and athletes would like to say a big thank you to those that volunteered their time to help with the race. We couldn't have done it without all of the volunteers. Thank you!

| 2011 Season Information |
Welcome to the 2011 Lynx Cross Country Running team!
The season starts very soon, so to be sure you are aware of what you need to do, please read the following.
There are new procedures this year to register for a sport.
There is a mandatory concussion assessment that all participants will be required to take prior to practicing. This will be $5 in addition to the cost of the sport. More information is available at the Dimond activities office.
The activites office will start accepting paperwork for fall sports starting Monday July 25. You will need to have the Physical paperwork on file that is less than a year old for the entire season. You will also need to have the ASD Activity Participation form filled out and signed by both parent and particpant. You will need to have the Tabacco, Alcohol, and Drug form filled out and signed by both parent and participant. And lastly, you will need to pay the activity fee.
More information is located here: http://www.asdk12.org/activities/high/participant_HS.asp
Please do not try and turn in all your paperwork August 1st as the lines will be long and you will not be eligible to practice that day (maybe longer depending on how long it takes the office to process the paperwork).
The first practice will be at Monday August 1st 8:00a at Dimond High School. We will meet by the flag poles in front of Dimond High.
See you there!

| Mayor's Marathon |
Dimond High XC Skiing and Running are in charge of the mile 13 aid station again this year. The theme for this year's aid station is "Hawaii/Scubadiving". Grass skirts, leis, swimming gear, are all appropriate attire to wear for this aid station.
Here is the specific information:
Saturday June, 18th from 7:30a-12:00p. 7:30-9:00a will be set-up of the tables and pouring water into cups as well as setting up the tent and getting any sort of props set up. Runners will start arriving around 9:15a and will be pretty steady until 11:00a. Afterward, we are in charge of cleaning up the trail in both directions for about a mile picking up cups and any other trash the runners have left on the trail.
Directions to the aid station:
- If you are driving to volunteer at the station but are not driving any equipment to the aid station, you will need to park beyond the Klutina gate. To drive there you will need to go east on Tutor. When Tudor turns into Muldoon, turn right on Pioneer Dr. Then turn right on Klutina. go through the gate at the end of the road and park along the trail underneath the powerlines. You will need to walk along a trail to get to the road. All of this is marked in the following Map.
- If you are helping drive gear to the aid station you will need to take a different route. Follow Muldoon all the way until you are about to merge with Glenn Hwy. Turn right at Boundary Ave. and an immediate left on Centennial Park Rd. Follow Centennial Park Road until it takes a fairly sharp right hand turn and go straight through a gate. You will end up on a gravel road. Go straight when you come to a T in the road. Follow the road until you get to the Mile 13 marker of the marathon. You will pass the marker and go down a downhill turning to the left. Then the road straightens out. This is where the aid station is to be set up. Again, the Map above shows where the aid station is to be set up.
John Hennessy and a couple other parents will be helping organize the aid station. Please help them with anything they ask!
Thank you for all your help! |
