4/22/2024 - Week 9 Newsletter

Lincoln Track and Field Athletes,

We had another great week of practice as well as two meets.  We have one meet this week, the Jesuit Twilight Relays which is a varsity invitational.  The next meet for our entire squad has now be shifted to next Tuesday.  We were originally scheduled for next Wednesday at Benson but it has bene moved to next Tuesday at Lincoln.  This is great news!  We will be having our senior recognition on this day and I will send out more information around that later this week.

With a meet next meet, it means we need volunteers.  Please USE THIS LINK to sign-up to help.

Our team store is officially live!!  This means that you can get all the Lincoln Track and Field gear that you could possibly want.  Please use THIS LINK to purchase gear.  As a reminder, we ask athletes to purchase their own warm-ups.  This is done so that they can keep those warm-ups all four years and don't have to give them back.  If you click the team store link, the Epic or Element top and the Epic bottom can be used for the warmups.  Additionally we allow kids to wear their own black bottoms.  If you need to purchase black bottoms please use the link to purchase those as well.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks for all you do.
