Thank You Russell Cup Officials

April 20, 2009

Dear Russell Cup Volunteer:

Thank you for helping us stage the largest Russell Cup ever. Forty-six schools and over 1500 athletes participated in this year’s Russell Cup. As usual, we received numerous compliments from the visiting schools. Houston Christian was impressed and wants to come back next year. The Russell Cup is the highlight of the season for many schools. This is due to the combination of strong competition, a great facility, a beautiful location and outstanding meet management. Our volunteers help make the Russell Cup a great track & field meet. Without you the meet would not be possible. The Russell Cup is a showcase for Carpinteria.

I know everyone was glad to see John Larralde receive the Honorary Meet Director. It was a very deserving honor for a man who has been a driving force behind the Russell Cup for many years. It was great that he stayed so long to visit with everyone. I know he truly enjoyed it.

Once again, on behalf of the entire Warrior Track & Field team, I’d like to say THANK YOU for your effort and support in making the 90th Russell Cup a huge success.

Sincerely,

Van Latham
