510 Sprints Info
Hello Wildcat Crew,
Never a dull moment! After hard work by all of the squads and coaches that traveled to San Diego this past weekend, we've got the 510 Sprints this coming Saturday.
All squad-specific details will come from your respective coach, but please take a note of a few important team-wide details that will help you have an enjoyable and successful Saturday. Good racing, tasty food, friendly fans, and a sunny if somewhat breezy morning of racing await!
Please also note that we will be departing from Lake Merced on Saturday morning via bus, and then returning to Lake Merced after the races to unload the trailer and wash the equipment. All athletes are to participate in all race-day work, and will be dismissed once the work is complete. Any questions and requests to be excused from this work should be directed to your respective coach.
We also wish the baseball team the best of luck at the Baseball Bruce, and will cheer them on from afar as we represent SI against Berkeley High, Serra, Oakland Tech, Artemis, River City, Los Gatos, North Bay, and OARS over in Oakland! GO 'CATS!
See you this weekend!

FRIDAY:
We will load the trailer on Friday afternoon. Plan to complete the load before departing, so come ready to get hands-on following your coaches' instructions. The trailer will be packed! After a couple years of minimal trailer use, everyone is getting reacquainted with the process - and you're getting faster every time!
