Western Region Marriott U16 Junior Championships

The 2013 USSA/Western Region Marriott U16 Junior Championships will be held at Alyeska, Alaska in the Alaskan Division, March 19-23, 2013.  This event, in which the Far West sends representatives based on the results of qualifying competitions for U16's only, conducts Western Region championship races for U16's in SL, GS and SG. 

Flight, bus and team van pick up info: All athletes flying in on the 16th and have flights scheduled to arrive by 10:00pm you will be meeting the Far West coaches in the Alaskan Airlines baggage area prior to heading to the bus. The bus will be arriving around 10pm and we are shooting for a 10:30pm departure (this will collect those athletes that are on that 9:50pm flight arrival). Once the bus arrives in Girdwood athletes will be asked to find their luggage and equipment and group it by their houses listed below. The team van will then shuttle the athletes to their homes. Athletes will be able to wait on the bus until their shuttle moves them to the house so that they can stay warm. Please be patient during this process as it will take a bit of time, but you get to sleep in Sunday morning!

The following athletes will be looking for Coach Lesley and Coach Noel in the airport baggage area: Everson, Knorpp, Rescigno, Fersuson, Winters boys, Wallasch and K Smith. These athletes will be traveling to Girdwoo via the team van.

Reminder that your behaviors reflect on you, your team, the Far West Division, the Western Region and USSA. Please make sure you clean up your area, help out in the house, on the hill and support each other!

Some planning info for you. You can choose to have your athlete travel using these itineraries or choose your own itinerary. We ask that all athletes arrive in Anchorage on the night of the 16th. You can use any airline (including your airline miles) to get into the Seattle or Portland areas yet travel in and out of Anchorage should match coaches flights please.

When you are booking your flight please use the following code: ECMU490 for a 7% discount on the flights with Alaska Airlines only.

I have created a googl docs to keep track of all athlete and coaches flights. This will help families book similar flights and so that we can keep track of arrival and departures of our athletes. This is a view only version. When you are ready to add your flight to the list either email me or your coach and we can share the workbook with you so that you can add your flight. It is important that I have all flights recorded for keeping track of our athletes!!! Click here for the google doc.
