Monterey Bay Invite: First, my apologies. There has been a small glitch in the email system and many of you have not been receiving the emails i have sent regarding a few changes to the meet this Saturday. First, there are no plans to cancel the meet. While there is a slight haze and faint smell of smoke at the park, the air quality at Toro Park is moderate and, in comparison to most of northern California, clear. That being said, I am not psychic and cannot predict if that will change Saturday. Our best option is to monitor the air quality and make a decision based on what we know as the race approaches Saturday morning. You can monitor the air quality at www.mbard.org. Click the tab labeled "Air Quality" and find Monterey on the map. Ultimately, as a coach, you must make the decision that is best for your athletes.Attendance is at a record high this year with 80 schools. As a result we have had to create two Frosh/Soph races and shift the schedule to reduce the possibility of overlap on the course. The new schedule is posted on Athletic.net as well as the creation of a Frosh/Soph Small school and Large school race. The Small school race is for schools with attendance of 1400 or less. You do not need to re-register your athletes, simply run them in the desired race. Our timing systems allows for runners to switch between divisions as long as they are registered.Regarding timing, we will be using shoe chips. Each runner will be assigned two chips (one for each shoe) that must be returned prior to them exiting the finish chute. Lost chips will be charged a $25 fee. Please ensure your runners return their chips.Toro Park is becoming increasingly difficult to reserve and use. As such, we must keep the park and all facilities clean if we wish to continue to use the space. Please make sure your athletes deposit all trash in designated areas and that you leave your site clean upon exiting the park.Originally I had two paramedics in a quick response all terrain vehicle assigned to the event. With the fires up north, they have been reassigned to that incident. Consequently, all coaches must come prepared with their own first aid kits and be ready to handle minor injuries. Major injuries or emergencies will be handled through the 911 system. I have a paramedic based Engine Company on standby with a 3 minute response time, a transport ambulance within 6 minutes and air ambulance capabilities. Having said that, be aware that Monterey County has very strict protocols regarding minors. Any minor with an injury who does not have a parent, guardian or someone capable of making medical decisions for them will be transported to the nearest emergency facility. This is a non negotiable in the county and will be enforced by law enforcement if necessary. Bottom line, if 911 is called, be prepared for your athlete to be transported.

Transfer Rule: In 1986 it was hard to get a break if you transferred from one school to another. This went all the way to the Supreme Court.

Divisions based on height & weight: Remember back in the day when there was Varsity, "B", "C" and even "D" divisions? Well most of you don't but back in 1969 the SPAL (now part of the PAL) decided to do away with these divisions and go with Varsity and Frosh/Soph (to be in line with what CCS was doing). Just a small trip down memory lane.

Rob Hickox (St Ignatius): is seeking a pole vault coach for the 2018 season. If you are interested in this position, please send your resume and cover letter as attachments to Coach Rob Hickox at rhickox@siprep.org with “S.I. POLE VAULT COACH 2018” in the subject line.

Toro Park Cleanup Day: Had a great turnout to whip the course into shape. Dear Principals, Athletic Directors and Coaches from the schools who participated in Saturday’s Toro Park Cross Country Course restoration, I want to thank all those athletes, coaches and parents of the schools who shared their time and talents on Saturday in the effort to restore the Toro Park Cross Country Course. The day was a huge success! The course looks great thanks to everyone’s efforts. On a personal level, it was great for me to have the chance to meet some great student-athletes and parents which gave me the opportunity to let them know how much we appreciated them. On behalf of the thousands of cross country participants of the our member schools who will run this season at Toro Park, we thank those who took part in this critical work day. Special thanks to Roger and Barbara Chagnon who coordinated the effort. Sincerely, Steve Filios CCS Assistant Commissioner. Pictures: 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7

Roger Chagnon: Dear Members of the CCS Cross Country Committee, Last week I had the opportunity to join our colleague Roger Chagnon (Salinas HS), Lavonne Chin from the County of Monterey and John Akeman, Monterey Parks Planning Manager in a walk/inspection of the Toro Park Cross Country Course. As you probably recall, we were scheduled to race at Toro last Fall but, due to the fires in Monterey County, the course was not available to us. We are scheduled to return this year, as are several invitational and league meets, and we felt it prudent to determine well ahead of time, the work that would be required to restore the course to its condition prior to the fires and the rains that followed the fires. During our walk/inspection we noted the normal needed trimming etc. of vegetation/branches/overgrown bushes that infringe on the course which are needed every year. But we also played special attention to some of the outcomes of this past year including: the condition of the large field (the start) where sprinklers were inadvertently broken by heavy equipment and some uneven ground has occurred from heavy equipment; crevices created due to erosion on the hills on the second half of the course due to heavy rain, and grass growing through the trail parallel to Hwy 68; some uneven ground in the finish area. In our efforts to restore the course to championship form, two major events will be occurring this summer: John noted that they (Monterey County Parks) are currently addressing the sprinkler repair issue and also indicated that he will be working to address some of the other areas that we identified on our walk during this summer. As many of you may know, a work day has been scheduled for Saturday, August 26th to address as many of the concerns that may still exist at that time. This workday is a cooperative effort between the Monterey Parks staff and the local coaches. However, we would like to invite all our CCS schools who wish to participate (perhaps it could be an opportunity to earn any required Community Service hours). Please spread the word to your coach colleagues in your leagues and encourage them to contact Roger Chagnon (chagnon@ultimanet.com), who has graciously consented to coordinate our volunteers, if they are able to provide some workers or would like to help in some way. I would like to thank John, Lavonne and Roger for their commitment to the sport of cross country and taking the time to walk the course. Please let me know if you have any questions or are in need of additional information. Steve Filios.

Woodside Priory: is looking to hire an assistant Cross Country coach for the 2017 season. Priory is located in Portola Valley and competes in the WBAL.

Please contact Matt Lai, Head Coach, at mlai@prioryca.org.
