The Devils came to run on Saturday at Eaton High School's Dean Stoltz Invitational. There were so many first place finishes to highlight, including a clean sweep of four gold medals by KK Hogg, first-place finishes by Jacob Lindahl, Cale Newton, Antione West, and Trevin Crosby. By the final event, both teams could not possibly lose, and it was just a really fun day overall.

That came on the heels of Carmel's Distance Showcase of 3200 meter runs on Friday night. Julian Bowden ran a 10:34.62 in one of the early heats. Keena Barker ran in the next race and locked in a new personal-best time of 11:54.93. Cale Newton capped off the night with a 16-second PR in the 3200 meter run with a time of 9:44.94.

The Devils will wrap up their home meets tomorrow with senior night vs. Eastern Hancock. More information below! It's a busy week ahead!

All seniors must fill out this Google Form so that we can get the script ready for the announcer. The sooner we get this done, the better, because this is a very, very busy week for us.

Keena Barker, Liam Hart, Shay Sexton, Ramsey Cartee, Xavier Ogle, and Jackson Gray are the seniors who have to fill this out still.

Here is the link to the ongoing snack sign-up for this week's and all future meets. Please help us out by not accidentally editing anyone else's response. Having everyone's responses visible to each other seemed like the best possible method for handling this to make sure we don't accidentally over-cover or under-cover a meet. Friday's meet at Carmel is not a meet we need snacks at. Saturday at Eaton is not covered yet. Sincere thanks to everyone who has helped us out so far!

Track athletes are expected to be at practice Monday through Friday each week. Athletes should be communicating with their jobs about their schedule changes. A full schedule of track meets will be made available as soon as possible. If an athlete cannot make it to practice, communication is required. An athlete will receive three excused absences, after which they will meet with a coach about their attendance and further action will be determined. Parents and athletes can reach out to Coach Lambright via the Google Voice number (765) 205-2647.

We may take a small squad to Huntington North's freshman/sophomore boys showcase meet on May 17th. This is new information as of the April 28th newsletter.

IMPORTANT: The Regional meets are not on this schedule but are exactly one week after the corresponding Sectional meet. Athletes who qualify for Regional will be practicing despite school being over. Athletes who cannot attend the Regional meet for any reason will need to let their coaches know before the Sectional so that we can scratch from the Regional and allow other athletes to participate instead.

All parent contact should come through ParentSquare. If you are not on the ParentSquare feed for RHS track and field, please reach out to Coach Lambright at your earliest convenience. We will no longer be using Remind as Richmond Community Schools has moved to streamline parent communication and help parents not have ten different apps on their phones.

While we would love to live in a world where we assume everyone will see all of our messages, we will continue to post workout plans and calendar events on SportsYou, something the cross country athletes and parents will be familiar with. You can join using the QR code on this paragraph, or by going to SportsYou.com and entering the code QYH8-WB4S. This will serve as a backup, always present information center, but all information on there will be duplicated here. The goal is to have one app that is always up to date, even when the next newsletter is a few days away.
