Huge Congratulations to our State Finalists for outstanding performances this weekend in Virginia Beach!
Nicolas Dewolfe placed 2ndin the Pole Vaultwith a 13'0" vault. His previous best was 11'6" and he rose to the occasion. He almost won the state title with both athletes clearing 13'0" and both missing at 13'6". The score went to misses and Nic missed 2 times at 13'0" and the other competitor only once. Congratulations Nicolas!
Haley Heironimus placed 10thin the 3200m with her 3rdfastest time ever in 11:33. The race was a more tactical race with a group of girls that slowed the pace and then kicked in the final few laps. Haley competed with guts and gave it her all.
Spencer Torok had a NH at 11'0" but almost had a big PR for the day! He competed very courageously. Look to see him back at states again.

Yesterday was a long day for many of us. I left home at 4:15 am and returned at 8:30pm. Some of us competed in the cold and some competed in the hot air of the Liberty Complex. A big thank you to parents who drove to Liberty and coach Atkinson for taking care of the food order! Thank you to coach Gillis and Lolagne for leading the team in the cold! We had a few PR's and we will try and recognize those at practice next week. I do want to recognize Haley Heironimus for breaking the overall 3200m school record yesterday. She has come close a few times and finally crashed through it. Congratulations Haley!
We have districts in two weeks. We need everyone at practice 100% of the time going forward. 6 practices until districts! Districts is Wednesday January 26th at Falls Church HS (3200m, LJ, TJ, Pole Vault, and pre-lims of the 55m dash/55mh) Day 2 of Districts is scheduled for Friday January 28that Thomas Jefferson Community Center. If Arlington County cancels us out of TJCC then Day 2 will be Saturday January 29th at Falls Church. Plan accordingly.
Next week on January 22nd we have our last meet before the championship season. It will be an invitational at Edison with Field Events at the meet. Entries will be somewhat limited so it's possible not everyone will be able to be entered. If you cannot be at the January 22nd meet please email Coach Smith now.

Winter Sports Concessions Help
Winter Sports games and meets are happening and WE NEED YOUR HELP! Please sign up now to work at the Indoor Concession stand. It’s easy and training will be provided. There’s also a live feed of the gym being broadcast in the concession stand so you won’t miss out on the action! Here is the link to sign up. These opportunities help make money for ALL FC Athletics so even if your child isn’t involved in these activities, we’d still appreciate your assistance. In addition, please plan ahead for the Joe Cascio Basketball tournament--an event that FCHS hosts over the winter break (Dec. 27-29). We need a LOT of coverage in @2 hour segments working in the concession stand. THIS SHOULD BE MORE THAN JUST BASKETBALL FAMILIES WHO WORK THIS EVENT! The sign-up now also includes this tournament so please sign up to help if you can!
Indoor Track & Field has been assigned to the following days: January 21 and February 8 (Both are Basketball games with 3 levels of play: Freshman, JV and Varsity) In addition, if indoor track can support any of the times for the Joe Cascio tournament on December 28, we'd appreciate it.
Team Picture Day
Lastly, we are hoping you can help us with Team Picture day. Please advise if you have a TEAM MANAGER or TEAM CAPTAIN that can assist us. When the pictures are taken, we are hoping to have a manager or your team captain assist us with getting the names of the athletes, in order, so that we can accurately name them in the Winter Sports Program. Please advise if someone will be able to assist on this date and please provide his/her name to Karen Laughlin at karlaughlin@gmail.com
Best,

Falls Church had some amazing performances at theVHSL6A Indoor Track and Field Championships. Both Tishere Dockery and Aleksander Ryan made All-State Honors. Both runners All-District, All-Region, and All-State this year! Both runners were ranked 10th in their respective events coming into the state meet and both ran personal records to medal with 6th place finishes in the state! Tishere ran a flawless race to lower his personal best in the 55m Hurdles to 8.03. Alek with his signature finish, kicked past two runners in the final lap to take 6th in a PR 2:37.25. Alek now has the 2nd fastest 1000m time in Falls Church Indoor Track and Field history! Tishere moved up to 4th all-time in the 55h Hurdles in Falls Church Indoor Track and Field history. Congratulations Tishere and Alek!

Well, we finally finished the winter track and field regionals after multiple weather delays and changes. Thank you for your patience and flexibility! We ended up having two beautiful days of sunshine. Our region is arguably, one of the best track and field regions in the state. We held our own and had many successes over the two days. 2 state qualifiers in Tishere Dockery and Aleksander Ryan, 6 scoring athletes, and 21 personal records. Tishere and Alek will be running Monday March 1st in Virginia Beach! Thank you, athletes and parents, for a great season! We had a lot of fun, worked hard, and laid the groundwork for a great outdoor track and field season. Below are some photos added to the team photo link and some of the highlights of the meet.
Best regards,
Coach Smith, Coach Ryan, Coach Atkinson, Coach Day, and Coach Gillis

- New athletes who need a uniform should purchase a singlet and green shorts before Dec. 21st. The purchase link is on the team website. The team store will close on that date. This is the only opportunity this season to order a uniform. Orders take a few weeks so we will supply an older version of the uniform for new athletes until orders come in. It is important to have matching uniforms as it is required at championship meets. Athletes can purchase a hoodie, sweats, etc. but these extras are not required.
- Shoes and spikes. It is important to have a good pair of running shoes. Spikes for running and jumping events are highly recommended. We have some to lend out, but it is highly recommended athletes purchase a pair of spikes if they can't find a pair to fit in the lending box. Road Runner Sports offers a discount and a fundraiser for Falls Church runners. See the team website for details.
- Transportation to meets. Busing to meets is severely limited this year to meets due to COVID guidelines. We expect most athletes to arrive at meets through their own transport. If an athlete needs to use the school bus please email me for the date you need the bus and we will arrange transport. The schedule is on the team website.
- Spectators. At this time no spectators are allowed at meets. A limited number of spectators will be allowed starting in January. If a parent would like to volunteer for our first home meet on December 28th at noon please email Coach Smith. We need only need a handful of volunteers since the timing is covered and field events will be competed at practice. All volunteers will be screened and expected to wear a mask.
