Spring Track Updates

Just a few reminders, uniform checks of $175 are due tomorrow, they can be made out to Montclair High School

Tomorrow night is SPIKE NIGHT at Fleet Fleet located on the corner of Midland Ave and Bloomfield Ave from 6-8. We will discuss at practice the appropiate competition shoes at practice. 

If a new pair will squeeze your budget tighter than the old shoes are squeezing your athlete's toes, the track and field booster club has set aside some funds to help.

• Contact Coach Wallace about what you need. (Sneakers or spikes) Coach will take it from there. 

Remember consistency and communication is key

For Caregivers: Discounts at Fleet Feet's Track Night

Greetings! I'm track parent Jim Lynch, and the coaches have graciously agreed to occasionally turn over the keys to their blogging kingdom to talk about topics on the minds of parents and other caregivers.
Topic One: Money, or specifically, how to save a buck or two while putting our athletes in the best gear we can.
You can get a 15% discount on all purchases from 6 to 8 p.m. Monday, March 31 at Fleet Feet, at Midland and Bloomfield Avenue. It's part of Track Night, intended to promote the upcoming track season.
In addition, you'll get a gift with any footwear purchase. And if you're just browsing, there will still be some light refereshments to enjoy.
This sounds like a big product placement for the store, and I suppose it is. But Fleet Feet is pretty much Runner Central in Montclair, and the owners have been generous to our program over the years, often discreetly. This is a way to give back while saving money - so why not?
