2011 XC

Welcome to the 2011 Cross Country season!

Our Fall practices will start Monday, August 22nd, kicking off with an early morning run at 8:00 a.m. and an afternoon practice starting at 3:00pm

.
(FYI, we have (2) practices on the 1st day so that we don't have to practice on Fri. Sept. 2nd & so we can take a 4-day weekend prior to school starting)

Notes


• Reminder: ALL Athletes must athletic packets turned in to the Athletic Office & have obtained their "Titan card" before being allowed to practice. No EXCEPTIONS. I will cross check the list for the first couple weeks to make sure we are coordinated with the office. This is a big item for some sports.
  
  
• Our first meet of the year will be the Canby Invite scheduled for Thurs. Sept. 8th at Molalla State Park in Canby. (This will be our first time at this meet)
  
  
• It is very important that those of you wishing to run the first meet show signs of being in shape and make plans to attend our August practices. You will need to have completed a minimum of (15) team practices in order to compete in the first meet.
  
  
• Contact me via email if you have schedule conflicts which will prevent you from being able to attend any of the practices on August 22 - Sept. 7th.
  
  
• With the benefit of our online Training Log, it's very easy to be flexible and make adjustments when things are taken care of ahead of time. So please plan ahead accordingly.
  
  

• 2011 Practice schedules are listed on the Practice Info page.
