The Liberty Conference Indoor Track & Field Championship is on for Thursday, 1/28 and Friday, 2/5.  There was some confusion in regard to the "attachments" in "team files" from the previous e-mail "news" posting.  These "attachments" in "team files" have been edited to clarify.  Any questions - please call 703-228-5384 or e-mail mark.stripe@apsva.us  Information about class dismissal, excused absences, etc. remains the same.

We still do not have a time schedule for the meet on 2/5, but know the meet will start in the morning, possibly as early as 8:00 a.m. Once announced, the time schedule for the 2/5 meet and any other important information in regard to either the 1/28 or 2/5 meet will be sent by e-mail and posted on "news".

The original schedule had the first day of the Liberty Conference Indoor Track & Field Championships scheduled for Friday, 1/22 at the Prince George's Sports and Learning Center. That date was then changed to Thursday, 1/21 due to the forecasted weather. As a result of the weather, the Thursday, 1/21 meet has been canceled and those events will now be on Friday, 2/5 starting as early as 8:00 AM. We will learn of the rescheduled time next week and then the tentative starting times will be posted.  The schedule on Thursday, 1/28 will stay the same and the track team members are excused from classes at 12:43 PM. All absences from school due to extracurricular activities are excused absences and all teachers have been notified of the upcoming absences.  Posted on "team files" are two separate entries in regard to the meet. One is the order of events with competitors and the time schedule for 1/28 and the other is the order of events with competitors for 2/5.  As aforementioned, once a time schedule for 2/5 is made, it will be posted on "team files". All competitors are listed with the exception of relay alternates and student helpers. As always, questions, please call 703-228-5384 or e-mail mark.stripe@apsva.us
