Happy Fall 'Break!'

Happy Spooky Season! We have a really exciting week coming up. We have our team lift on Tuesday morning (YAY) and our home meet, the Hokie Invitational, on Saturday! Thankfully, the Homecoming game vs. Wake Forest is at 3:30 so we'll have plenty of time to get ready for the game. Hope everyone has a great week of class and practice as we head into the second half of the semester!
Home Meet & Volunteering
The home meet this Saturday is at Blacksburg High School. The ladies' race starts at 9:00 am and the gentlemen will be racing at 10:00 am. Be on the lookout for an email from Roman regarding racing details.
If you're not planning on racing and are interested in volunteering for this meet, make sure to sign up. Volunteers are very important for this meet so if you are available, I highly encourage you to help out! It's super fun, and takes just a few hours.

Regionals Sign Up
If you are interested in going to Regionals, please read this section in its entirety as there is a lot of important information.
Woah... do you hear that? That... That's right, it's the sound of your Mid-Atlantic defending champions coming to reclaim their first place trophy. We also definitely had the most fun. NIRCA Regionals will be held on Saturday, October 21st at Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Signups close this Friday, October 13th. Please note this is an overnight meet and we will be staying at a hotel. Because hotel rooms are expensive, if you sign up and later decide to drop the meet, you must let us know by Saturday, October 14th. Otherwise, you will be charged a $20 fine. We will be leaving for Lehigh on Friday between 12-2pm, so if you have class and need an excused absence, you must email or message Volkan with information on your class and the professor. You will only get an excused absence if you have done all the signup requirements. You can signup for the meet here.
Tuesday 7 a.m. lift
That's right! We are bringing back our 7 a.m. lifts. Yes, it is early BUT it is a great way to strength train and it is a lot of fun! It is in the Rec Sports Field House (the big bubble). Hope to see y'all there :).

Team Hike
Thanks to everyone who joined us on our team hike! We hope that you had fun. We got to see some pretty sights and spend time with the best teammates ever.
