Upcoming Races, Percentage Night, and Practice Times
The season is in full swing and we're now 3 races down, 2 to go! We're traveling to Lehigh University for Mid-Atlantic Regionals this Saturday (October 23) and then it's time for the big one... Nationals! NIRCA Nationals is taking place in Shelbyville, Indiana on November 6th, and signups for it will be released very soon so keep an eye out.
Do you like Italian food? Well even if you don't, too bad. Please pretend you do and come support us at our Zeppoli's percentage night. It will be from 4-close on November 2nd and 20% of all proceeds will go directly to us. Please come help us out so we can stay avoid staying in a hotel with mold, insects, or water damage before the next few races!
If you haven't noticed, it's getting dark a lot earlier. To counter this issue, we'll be moving distance practices to 5 pm. We'll be meeting in front of War Memorial Hall, which may be a big throwback to some. Sprint practices will continue to be held at 6 pm on the track.
Late Registration (September 29th)
Practices are officially underway and open to all! If you are planning on joining the club, dues must be paid to the Sports Club Office at Mccomas Hall. We are accepting new members throughout the entire semester.
Regardless of if you plan to race or not, please:
- Fill out the membership survey.
- Pay dues to the Sports Club Office at McComas Hall. $20 if you are not planning to race, $100 to cover racing and travel fees. They only accept cash or checks made out to "Treasurer of Virginia Tech".
COVID Response
Regular practice will continue for the rest of the semester unless there are significant changes. Attendance will be taken at every practice for contact tracing. Keep yourselves safe, and if you believe you have been exposed to or have tested positive for COVID-19, please notify those you have been running with as well as any of the officers. If you are planning to race, please do the following by September 16th:
- Print out and sign this COVID waiver and turn it in to an officer by 9/16 if you plan on going to the first meet.
-
If you have had COVID, please call Schiffert at 540-231-5313 and tell them you are a sport club athlete needing physician's clearance. Try not to schedule your appointment for any later than 9/17 if you want to go to the first meet. You also will need to fill out an additional waiver. If you got cleared to travel last spring, you still need to do this waiver, but you do not need to schedule another appointment at Schiffert.
