New Year, New Website

Happy first day of classes everyone!
It is my great honor to present to you our new club website! Several months and 5,427 lines of code later, it is finally here. Making this website has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life and I hope you enjoy using it as much as I enjoyed making it!
Anyways, here's some announcements:
First Week of Practice (FWOP) starts on Monday, Jan 23. We meet at the Johnson-Miller Track and distance runners will meet at 4:30 PM whereas sprints/field events will meet at 5:00 PM.
New and returning members, follow the instructions on the join page and make sure that you have everything completed by Friday, Jan 27.
A message from our Race Coordinator:
All new members, or anyone else that is new to racing with our club need to complete the NIRCA registration survey Once I create your account you will get 2 emails to finish setting up your account and complete a waiver. Please do this ASAP because you cannot race without this, but if you raced with us in the Fall you are all set.
All returning members need to log into their NIRCA account and fill out the waiver ASAP as you also cannot race before this is done. If you have done this in the Fall or have raced with us in the Fall you do not have to do it again.
If you are planning on racing this semester, we need you to pay your racing dues as soon as possible!
Indoor Meet Volunteering!
Virginia Tech Track & Field is hosting their Hokie Invitational January 20-21st (this weekend) at the Rector Field House, and they asked for our help in volunteering at the meet! This is a big fundraiser for the Spring semester and this will help send us to Nationals, so it is really important that we do this event. Food will be provided for the volunteers as well.
Please sign up for whatever you can, there are not many official time slots left, but even if they are full you are encouraged to come to the meet and cheer on the team or see if anything else is needed! If you have already signed up, please double check that the time still works for you.
Singlets are in!
That's right, our singlets are finally in! For everyone who ordered singlets in the Fall, we will be handing these out shortly after practice starts. Please be on the lookout for updates from Suzie in the GroupMe in the upcoming weeks for information about uniform distribution! For those who are planning on racing with us in the Spring, have no fear, we have already ordered more singlets to avoid more waiting issues.
