Track & Field Season
Weather permitting (i.e. not raining), we will have a track clean-up on Saturday at 9 a.m. We need as many athletes and parents as we can get to quickly get out and set-up equipment, clean off the track, etc. We can be done well before noon with enough support. In addition, we need the following items if people can bring them:

Leaf blower - need to get the pinestraw out of turn 4
Shovels and a wheel barrow - need to fill the long and triple jump pits
Air compressor - need to fill the tires on block carts
Power drill - may need for the pad under the pole vault area (may not)

Official practice begins Monday, at the track at 4:05 p.m. Athletes must have a completed 2011 - 2012 physical on the large pink form to practice. Anyone not in a winter sport is expected to be at practice on Monday ready to workout. Dress appropriately for the weather.

Parent information night is Thursday, January 26th in the Commons at 6:30 p.m.

Thanks,
Coach Gower

Walton Raiders Cross Country 2011

Welcome to the 2011 Walton Cross Country Season. We must begin to prepare for the fall cross country season now to ensure that the Walton Cross Country tradition of excellence is upheld. With that being said, let us review the last year and look at what the future may hold.

The Lady Raiders completed the trifecta last season: Cobb County Champions, Region Champions, and (most importantly and historically) STATE CHAMPIONS! It was an amazing season that saw the girls go from a team everyone knew was good, to a team that thoroughly dominated the State Meet. Now, how do we handle being the best? Do we sit back and expect what happened last year to happen again? I don't think so! The class of 2011 did a wonderful job leading you ladies, however, the state title was built on the current Lady Raiders and it is your job and privilege to return Walton to the rankings as a state dynasty! Every day, we need to take the opportunity to push and improve. You have a wonderful foundation of athletes (sweeping the JV race at region and 5 of the 7 state runners back), but you must stay hungry and work hard. As coaches, we will do whatever we can to help you, but you have to decide now that you want to earn another ring!

The boys program took a much needed step last fall. From a team that was not even ranked when the season began, to 2 points shy of a trophy at state. The seniors from the fall 2010 season did a wonderful job; however, they were just 4 of the nearly 30 athletes that carried this team. The 2011 season is the season where the Raiders can and should return to that podium. The track season showed that the boys are as strong, if not stronger, than they have been in the past decade. Decide now, what are you going to do? What are you going to do to make the Raiders the Cobb County Champions? In what ways are you going to help the Raiders earn their 25th region title? What will it take to take the state title away from the Gwinnett powerhouses? You have the boys that can do it; this summer, put in the work to become the men that will do it.
