Hi All,
I hope everyone has been having a relaxing break and enjoying time with friends and family. As a team, we have had a few great practices and got in some great work at Bowdoin this past Thursday! This week's overview will be brief because I will be emailing again mid-week with details about our first meet - this Friday at 3:30pm. This Week's Meet: Our first meet will be held this week at USM. Directions are here. The meet will start at 3:30, which means our track team needs to leave a bit early from school at 2:15pm. More details including order of events, who is running what, etc to come mid-week! Athlete Event Choices: Athletes, please use THIS FORM to let me know your event choices ASAP. Please know that you are not guaranteed all of your choices, and I may put you into other events to expand your repertoire. Thanks! This Week's Workouts:
This Week's Practices: Due to vacation & the New Year's Holiday, our schedule for practice is still a bit wonky this week. Please see below for details, and note the change for Monday's practice.
As always, please be in touch with any questions! Go Clippers! Coach Carrigan

Hi All,
I hope you are all having a good start to the break with your families! As I said on the bus, we do not have practice until next Thursday. I am hopeful you can take the time to rest up and relax! That said, I don't want you to sit on the couch all week! It is very important that we do not lose fitness before our first meet, January 4th. Attached are the workouts I would like you to try on your own (OYO) for the next week. These are easy to do without a weight room, etc. Feel free to email if you have any questions about how to modify, etc.
Vacation Practice Schedule: Please email me with your availability for these four practices. Athletes are expected to attend practice over vacation to the best of their ability, and are only excused if they communicate ahead of time and are not in Yarmouth on the days of practice. Athletes should note that significant improvement takes place over winter break, and that a failure to come to practice will be detrimental to that athlete's improvement. Athletes who attend all four practices will receive a special prize!

TWO practices at an indoor track! The track team will be heading to Bowdoin this week on Tuesday & Thursday for some indoor track time.

Team Holiday Party - Coach Jen will be hosting a holiday party for our athletes at her house, 55 Hickory Lane, on Wednesday, December 20th at 5:30pm. We will have a taco bar and cookie decorating!

I hope that everyone is enjoying the sunshine this weekend and staying warm! Hard to believe we are already in Week 3 of our season! Before this week's announcements, I wanted to give a huge THANK YOU to the McCormick's, who hosted our first team dinner this past Friday! Our athletes had a great time getting to bond outside of practice time. Please see below for announcements related to the upcoming week: This Week's Workouts:
MONDAY PRACTICE @ USM - We are lucky enough to practice at USM on Monday (tomorrow) and we have track time from 8:00pm - 9:00pm. We will be leaving by bus from the high school at 7:00pm, and hopefully returning by 10:00pm. Please remember to bring layers for warming up outside (before our track time) and wear shorts / t-shirts underneath for training inside. There will not be time to change (other than taking layers off / on) as we want to make the best use of our track time. Please dress accordingly! Reminders for Athletes:
Website Link: Our website has lots of good information about the season, how to prepare for practice, our schedule, etc. Please visit us at https://yhstrack.weebly.com/. PowerSchool: Parents - please make sure that your child is signed up for track on PowerSchool. This function is only accessible through the Parent Portal.
