OPEN THREAD

Thank you!


I just want to take a moment to say thank you again to all of the people who helped with this site by providing pictures and stories and technical advice ( you know who you are). I would also like to thank the coaches who put so much effort and time into the season. I'm not sure everyone realizes just how little they are paid for what they do. And I want to thank all of the parents who hosted or helped out with the dinners. The CC teams do spaghetti dinners better than any other team I have ever seen. It's a great tradition.

Thanks everybody!

Like the athletes this site will take the winter off. I will be making some format changes in January that I hope will make the site a bit more user friendly and easier to get around. If you have any specific requests or pet peeves please let me know so that I can address them with the overhaul. I plan to start posting again when the indoor season starts which for me coincides with the Shorewood Invite at UWM. Track is a bit tricky though because the team is so much bigger and because there are a number of 'teams' within the team. I plan to focus on the distance runners because I understand their events. It would be nice if someone would volunteer to follow and write about the sprinters and field athletes. Let me know if you have an interest.

I will leave an "open thread" at the top if anyone wants to use it as a message board. I think that some people had trouble with this feature because it uses a pop up box and gets disabled if you have a pop up blocker running on your system. You will have to disable the pop up blocker until I reconfigure the pages.

Finally, all of the pictures here and in the slide shows can be downloaded and printed. On the slide shows, after the show loads you can click on the "album" feature which has a download option. Once you have them on your computer you can save them on a disk and take it in to Wallgreens. They have a machine that accepts any and all types of discs. It costs 29 cents a print for the one hour option. Conversely you can send them electronically to Wallmart and pick them up later in the day. Wallmart charges 19 cents per print.

See you all in the spring !
