Write the dates on your calendar now. Parents we need a few helpers, let us know if you will come to camp this summer.
Boys Cross Country Camp: July 11 - 14, Devil's Lake, Wisconsin
Saints Challenge 5K & Youth Mile - June 20
June 20, 2010
32nd annual Saints Challenge 5K
and Jeff Leavey Youth Mile races.
It's a Saints Father's Day tradition.Get the whole family out to run the 5k or the 1 mile fun run before you relax on Dad's Day. T-shirts, goodie bags and great raffle prizes!
SAINTS DADS, MOMS - WE NEED YOU! We REALLY need YOUR help at the Saints Challenge 5K race on Sunday, June 20th. Join the gang early that morning at the stadium in a SAINTS father’s day tradition and help us raise money for next year’s teams. This is our biggest fundraiser of the entire year. So far ZERO parents have told us that they would be there but we KNOW that you meant to sign up at the banquet - it was a busy night. Money from this fundraiser buys shirts for the team, funds travel expenses and goes toward track equipment purchases (current project: a new pole vault pit).
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED - meet at the stadium concession stand:
10 parents for registration/setup at 6:30 a.m.
7 for course, meet at 7:30,
3 for finish line, meet at 7:30,
1 person on the bike at 7:45 to follow the racers on the course (you will ride 3.1 miles SLOWLY)
3 people that can stay until 11:30 and help clean up after the race.
You CAN sign up for more than one job or you can help with registration and still run/walk the 5K:
- The people who volunteer to clean up can come earlier and work another part of the race.
- People who work registration will be able to help on the course, the water table and the finish line.
PARENTS, you did it! You made the St. Charles East Sectional a great success again this year. Thank you for getting out to Leroy Oakes early and working in the cold wind and muddy fields. We heard lots of compliments from parents from other schools on how well the sectional was run in all aspects. PARENTS, YOU ARE AMAZING!

TEAM MATES, PARENTS, grandparents, sisters, brothers, aunts, uncles, friends of the family - it was FANtastic to see such a big turn out to cheer on our Saints at the Regional meet (especially in the cold & wet weather.) Let's do it again next Saturday!

Tim Johnson SR, Michael Faith SR, Jake Osborne SR, Jake Zahn SR, Michael Rykoskey JR, Jared Eades SR, Erick Grathoff JR,Brad LeDuc SR, Kevin Earl JR, Steven Decker JR, Josh Carnell JR, Derek Weber JR.
Chris Bosworth enters as the Saints new coach. Bosworth inherits a good nucleus that will have to rely on pack running to succeed accordingto the new coach. A strong senior group, led by Tim Johnson and Michael Faith will look to improve East on their Sectional finish of last season.
The Peoria Woodruff Invitational brings together many of the top ranked teams in the state to race on the State meet course. The Saints finished in 9th place.
Our team had a fantastic finish in the Leavey Invite with three varsity runners in the top 25!
THANK YOU to all of our parent volunteers who made the Leavey Invitational run so smoothly.
Peoria, here we come! Parents, join us next Saturday, Sept 12, at Detweiller Park to get a preview of what the State Race will look like when our boys run on
November 7.
