ELMORE PARK 2008 AAA SYS TRACK CHAMPIONS

Congrats to our coaches and participants on their performance at the 2008 SYS Track & Field Championships.

Elmore Park garnered 34 medals and 23 place ribbons placing in a total of 48 events.

Say that’s great, well consider this, Elmore Park won the AAA SYS Championship. No mean feat.

But heres the kicker….if that was not impressive enough, 27 out of our 59 participants were Rookies.

Now this tells me a couple of things:

1. We had parental support of the kids and the program that made such a outcome possible.

2. We had coaches who worked with each other for the best team and participant outcome possible.

3. And we had a bunch if kids who showed up with no experience, a lot of heart who through raw talent & potential, parental support and great coaching pulled off a phenomenal win.

For anyone wanting to relive some of the memories from this past season you can in a couple ways.

We’ve posted the results of SYS Track Championships, our participant medal and ribbon count and the current SYS and Elmore Park held track records on the Track Records link at the Elmore Homepage. You can check it out at www.elmoreparkpackers.com

Numerous photos from this past season as well as the Championships have been posted to the 2008 Track and Field photos link. You can find the link on the homepage as well.

We would also encourage anyone who has any photos from the 2008 season to take the time out to upload them to the site. Some memories should be shared and we would like to thank Kelanie Ware and Angela Robinson for the lion share of photo uploads to the site to this season.

A recap of the 2008 season would not be complete without some words from one of Elmore Parks biggest supporters Area Director DeShana Wallace:

To All,

I would like to take the time to say, "Thank you for your time and dedication throughout the track season"!!! It took time and patience, in which each and everyone of you have proven you have plenty of . You and our children did a F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S job in the championships. I'm so proud to be your Area Director. Remember, our Track Banquet is June 7th 3pm - 7pm at Elmore Park Middle School. Lastly, have an awesome Memorial Day weekend !!!

We would ask you to take the time out to share your positive remembrances of a phenomenal season by going to the Elmore Park Message Board and just let loose, poor it out and let our coaches, Booster Club and Directors Staff know how much they mean.

Folks, they do it for the kids and it would be wonderful for our parents, participants and everyone involved to take a moment to let them know how much what they do means.

08 CHEER SIGN-UPS.....MAJOR CHANGES TO THE CHEER PROGRAM

Come join the Elmore Park Packers for our 41ST Cheer Season

If you are a past Elmore Park participant or will be new to the program, you need to make plans to sign-up at one of the upcoming sign-up dates.

Cheerleading sign-ups will be held May 6th, 7th, 13th, 14th at Elmore Park Middle School from 5-7 p.m. Participation is open ot girls age 6-14. New pariticipants will need to bring a recent picture and a copy of the birth certificate.

Elmore Park Cheer in 08 will be going recreational. This means participation will be much more affordable with a lower fee schedule. Since there will be no coaches fees and one set price for the uniform package we hope to bring the cheer experience into the reach of many more participants.

Altogether including uniform, booster club fees, SYS Fees and minor incidentals, we are looking at a Fee Schedule of around $200 per participant. Multi- participant family discounts will be available as well as fundraising opportunities that can bring the cost of pariticipation down to zero.

Another added benefit of our program going recreational it the practice schedule will be greatly reduced and our only compeitition will be the local SYS Cheer-OFF that is mostly funded by SYS.

You can get more info concerning our upocoming Cheer Season by contacting Kelani Ware at 383-3956 or Shelly Harrell at 234-3676
