exams'18

NOTE: practice time this week will be 8:30 AM on Tue thru Thu.  This should allow you to get to both the 2nd and 3rd exam periods.  If you have an exam during the first exam period at 8:00 AM, TEXT COACH and an alternate time will be arranged.  Also TEXT COACH your mileage from last week.

For those racing ACC's, it is imperative that along with a successful academic week you also have a successful training week.  In order to accomplish this you must manage your week well!  Part of managing the week well also includes moving out of the dorms and moving into the post-season hotel.  Plan ahead!

By now everyone should have signed up for an individual year-end meeting.  If you haven't done so, please go to the google doc link and sign up for a time slot.  The meetings will be brief, but are important, so make sure you are prepared to go over the agenda items listed in the google doc.
