Sue Mueller and Larry Thompson spent a chilly day in Belleville volunteering as timers at the SW Illinois Relays. Photos/TomAtwoodThe 2008 Southwestern Illinois Relays were a success thanks to all of the help given to the EHS Coaching Staff. We would like to take a moment and give some special thank yous:
Coach Austrakus and the SIUE Track and Field Staff. Thank you for taking care of entries and seeding the event. We appreciate all of the help you gave us and look forward to hosting the event at the updated SIUE facility next year.
Coach Seagraves and Belleville West. Belleville West has one of the best facilities in the conference. We greatly appreciate Coach Seagraves and the Administration at Belleville West for allowing us to host the event at their facility. Thank you for your help and your dedication to track and field.
Mr. and Mrs. Bevis and Katie. It is always great to get help for such a supportive family. Mr. Bevis assisted throughout the event, starting with some Athletic Director type duties and turning into meet managment and scoring duties. Special thanks to Lynn for not only giving her husband up for the day but also for assisting him with scoring. Katie, thanks for your help as well. We owe you! Just remind us and we will try to help out with a future Liberty event!
EHS Athletes. We appreciate all of the help from members of the EHS Track and Field Teams during the day. Field Events went off well and quickly thanks to all of the extra help. Especially on such a cold day, your efforts did not go unnoticed. Thank you.
Travis Dudley, Willie Sweatt, Charlie Vance, Dustin Davis, and Garrett Sweatt. We are fortunate to have such great alumni (and one pumped up 8th grader) that, not only come out in 40 degree temperatures to cheer on their former school, but also volunteer to assist with the pole vault, timing, taking splits, and running results to the press box. Thank you for your continued support to the program. It is always a pleasure to see you guys!
Mrs. Coley. We just finished our fourth meet, and you have helped out with almost all of them. Besides having the third place finisher in the pole vault as a daughter, she also has a love for our sport. Mrs. Coley worked through the cold temperatures to make sure the coaches had a knowledgable worker assisting them. Thank you for your time and help.
Tom Atwood: For taking countless picutres of the event. We look forward to seeing them posted throughout the season. Just make sure you take more caution when taking pictures of the coaching staff. Either that, or photoshop/edit our pictures before posting them.
Ms. Mueller and Mr. Thompson. Thank you so much for all of your help. Ms. Mueller and Mr. Thompson were outside from 10:45 until after 3:30 working the finish line, timing third and fourth places and keeping things running smoothly at the line. Being with them all day, I know how cold it was and how hard they worked. Thank you very much for all of your help. It's good to see other people crazy enough to spend an entire day outside at a track meet that are not coaches. We appreciate your help.
All Officials, Coaches and teams: Thank you for making this a successful event. We appreciate all of the help throughout the day. Thank you to Mr. Huwer, Mr. Skirball and Mr. Stallhut for their wonderful work today in keeping the meet flowing. You gentlemen did a great job! Coaches, thank you for your patience and help with the field events and timing. The meet was a success because of your help. Also, thank you to all teams for your sportsmanship, performances, and camp clean up. We hope you enjoyed the meet as much as we enjoyed putting it on.
Congratulations to all teams and coaches and good luck during the remainder of the 2008 Track and Field Season.
