We Are NOT Going To Belvidere

September 7, 2012

Unfortunately, we will not be going to the Belvidere Central Invite this year. Belvidere's previous coach left suddenly and when they invited teams to the invite they did not have us on the list for whatever reason. We had tried to contact Belvidere a few weeks ago, but we did not know they had a new coach so we did not get any response from the previous coach's email. After we finally realized they had a new coach and called the school yesterday they were not willing to let us join the invite.

We are pretty upset about the situation, but at this point there is nothing more we can do. Instead of the invite we will have a practice tomorrow at Silver Springs from 9 to 10:30am. We will hold a race at Silver Springs that we held in previous years called the "Red/White Run" so our runners will have a chance to set new PRs or team records.

User Comment Coach Miller on September 8, 2012

The app we use to record times did not save the times. If you remember your time post it here and we will put it on the site. I remember a few times and places, but not enough.

User Comment Coach Miller on September 8, 2012

You can wea your uniform if you want this morning.

User Comment Jacob on September 7, 2012

miller, do we have more accreate estimates as to what the guys times will need to average at this year for state or is it to early to tell?

User Comment brian on September 7, 2012

sorry worded that wrong, i meant do we wear our uniforms, not can we

User Comment brian on September 7, 2012

yeah i agree with anonymous, can we wear our uniforms

User Comment Grant Bowers on September 7, 2012

I appologize for my comment, I guess I was just dissapionted that we weren't going in the first place, I am sorry. I understand that accidents happen.

User Comment Anonymous on September 7, 2012

i'm seriously crying because we can't go to belvidere :...(

User Comment Anonymous on September 7, 2012

so is there still a belvidere invite? because why couldn't we ust go... if they normally invite us shouldn't we be able to go. sorry i'm complaining but it just doesn't seem fair. it's like telling someone they can't come to a party they were accidentally invited to. :( i suppose i'm just sad that we can't go because i've been soo excited to go there all season and it was my favorite invite last year and it means one more meet/invite i cant be in..:( and i was wondering if we have to wear our uniforms tomorrow since you said it was a meet.

User Comment Anonymous on September 7, 2012

User Comment Steve and Joyce Mitchell on September 7, 2012

Where is the Tiger Trail Invite held?

User Comment Andrew Madej on September 7, 2012

Also, when would are next meet be then?

User Comment ben schafermeyer on September 7, 2012

that stinks i was looking forward to the bus ride with all the guys haha at least theres always next year and other invitationals

User Comment Andrew Madej on September 7, 2012

That really stinks. i was really loking foward to this meet. The bus ride was also goinfg to be really fun, and jimmy, you are right on that.

User Comment brian on September 7, 2012

what about channahon, are we still going because its on the schedule but it says top seven boys and girls. plaese say there will still be an open race.

User Comment Coach Miller on September 7, 2012

They didn't cut us from the meet. They just didn't have us on the list so we never got invited in the first place. I don't believe it was anything intentional on their end so please try to keep comments respectful.

User Comment brian on September 7, 2012

whats the red and white run

User Comment Grant Bowers on September 7, 2012

wait a second, the person from belvidere only cut our team? It's probably only because we destroyed them the past two years

User Comment brian on September 7, 2012

so this means no 1:30 hour bus ride. darn. and im not being sarcastic

User Comment Grant Bowers on September 7, 2012

That's unfortunate, but why does a new coach mean no invite?

User Comment Coach Miller on September 7, 2012

The Red/White Run will be at practice tomorrow.

User Comment Anonymous on September 7, 2012

Will this Red/White run be held tomorrow during the 9:00-10:30 practice or is that on another day?

User Comment Mrs. Janelle Raine on September 7, 2012

Belvidere Central apologizes. At this time, we do not have any more room for another team. We look forward to seeing you next year. Please be sure to enclude us to your invitational next year.
