ANNOUNCEMENTS



  • NEW! The Summer event schedule is starting to fill up. If you have a track & field or XC related event taking place and want to get it on the schedule, email me.
  • VOLUNTEERS NEEDED - Two major track events being held this June is in need of volunteers to assist organizers in running the meet.  You do not have to be an official but you must be able to help direct the athletes to areas of competition, help setup competition areas, etc.  Please read event list or contact Mike Bordonaro for details or to volunteer.
  • NOTE: I will be unavailable this coming weekend to cover the Saturday meets so I would like to ask parents, coaches and yes, even student-athletes, to bring along a camera and record the action at the various meets.  Just remember to not get in the way of the races and ask the officials first before standing or moving to an area of competition.

    The photos can be posted on the Parent's Gallery so please, leave your name with the images so you get credit.

    CHALLENGE: To the North Tonawanda Girls Team - let's see if you are as good behind a camera as you are in front of it.  Surprise me and cover the meet you are attending.  No candids, just some competition.  You owe me!

  • Former Allegany-Limestone and Penn State throws standout, Blake Eaton is pursuing an Olympic dream and is looking to raise funds to get him to the Olympic trials this summer.  T-shirts (click here to see image) are being sold for $15/each as a fundraiser.  Please contact A-L coach, Mike Wilber to order. Consider this as a worthy cause and support Blake in his quest.
  • I need Spotlight candidates...coaches, please encourage your student-athletes to send in a completed questionnaire.  Student-athletes...you're certainly not shy asking me to take your picture, so step up!
  • SENIOR PORTRAITS - Check out the new Senior Portrait gallery where samples of the photo sessions will be posted.  Please email me if you are interested in setting up a session.

TRUE INSPIRATION
Something to think about when you tell your coach you can't push yourself any further.  Love the look on this kid's face!

SCHOLARSHIPS
Scholarship winners have been selected for the two scholarships and they will be announced in late May-early June.  The following is a note of appreciation from Linda Reimer:

"...I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their involvement in getting the word out about track scholarships this year.  An especially "BIG" thank you goes to the WNY Track Officials and Bill Wende. Thanks to your herculean efforts, I was happy to have to make some tough decisions on this year's recipients. As all who knew Art, track and cross country were a major part of his life, and therefore, Tara's, Chad's and mine. The Art Reimer scholarship will continue for only four more years..."

Affectionately,
Linda Reimer
