Here is a little information from the Coaches' Clinic/Meeting
held at West Virginia Weslyan on December 5.

The speakers were Steve Taylor (Team Development and VO2 Max),
Jesse Skiles (Recruiting the High School Athlete), Sara Walker
(Cross Training and the Female Athlete), and Mark Swiger (Heart
Rate Training).

The Coaches' Association still needs approximately $700 to pay
for warm-ups purchased for the Mid-East Meet.  The warm-ups are
property of the Coaches' Association and will be used from year
to year.  A small donation from each school having a cross 
country program would be greatly appreciated.

The meeting broke at 4:30, but not all issues had been discussed
to the extent necessary, so a second meeting has been scheduled
on January 16th at West Virginia Weslyan at 10:00 AM.  Even if
you missed the first meeting, you are encouraged to attend this
one.  Many issues need addressed and many plans need to be made.

There are discussions for a meeting in February.  The meeting
would include Track information, and thus, track coaches are
encouraged to attend.

Again, there is a second meeting scheduled for January 16th.
Please make plans to attend.
