First Week Practice Schedule - Starting Monday, 8/26/19


WELCOME BACK!
After an excellent summer and a (fingers crossed) smoke-free August, your cross country coaches are even more excited than usual to get everyone back together and to kick off the fall 2019 cross-country season.

We'll start simple with the practice schedule for week #1, but stay tuned for additional info about a team potluck in the first week of school, the revival of our HWY 20 volunteer cleanup, and a (HS only) pre-race campout for the NIKE Hole in the Wall competition. It's all spelled out in the schedule on the blog, and the handouts you'll receive on Monday, but we will also be having several Saturday practices in lieu of HS races throughout the season. Mark them on your calendar sooner than later and we can't wait to get the season started on Monday. See you soon.

GRRR!!!

2019 XC Online Registration!

Fall sports registration is now LIVE. Follow this link and sign up. Registration and a sports physical (renewed every two years) are a requirement for practice when the season begins on August 26th. A day or two of grace period we can do, but start the process now, schedule that sports physical and get ahead of the game. Thanks much and we'll see you on August 26th!
