August 25th @ 5 PM- XC Team Pictures in front of MHS by the rock…please dress semi-formal. I think it will be cool to have some “classy” pics for our team photo this year since all of our other pics will be sweaty and in running clothes

The season begins in less than two weeks! Keep up all of the hard training you’ve been doing all summer. We have the potential to do some great things this season. Stay confident and motivated!!!

Go Warriors!

Camp begins next Tuesday, July 26. We will meet at MHS on the side at 1 PM, load the cars, and depart for Round Valley. If you do not have a ride to camp yet be proactive and start making some phone calls. If you cannot meet us at MHS you are welcome to meet us up there. Our check-in is from 2:00-3:30 PM.

Reminders on items to bring with you to camp:

Sleeping bag, blanket (optional), pillow, toiletries/personal items (especially deodorant), running clothes, running shoes, other shoes/sandals, towel, swimsuit, warm clothes (mid-40′s at night), a share item*, flashlight, extra non-smelly socks (for the sock wars), sunscreen, bug spray, a hat.

* A share item is something that you value (either running related or non-running related) that you will share with the camp the first night on why it’s important to you and what it means to you.

Please ask if you have any questions. Call, e-mail, or show up to practice this week!

This should be a great camp and we are looking forward to an event packed week!

Just a reminder we begin 7:00 AM practices on Monday and Wednesday starting this week. These will remain at MHS. Also, Thursday evening practices (7 PM) we will meet at the Eagle Greenbelt. Saturday 8 AM practices will remain the same with switching between Camels Back Park and Military Reserve.

If you haven’t started training yet or aren’t where you want to be, now is the time! The season begins August 12th and June is almost over.

Reminder #2: I only have 2 camp entries turned in thus far. If we don’t get more turned in with money by July 4 there may not be a camp this year. Please get the paperwork filled out and a check in to either myself or Brice.

Keep up the great running!

Mark your calendars for August 20th at 8 AM. We will be putting on a community fun run as a fundraiser for the XC programs. All athletes will be required to help out directing race traffic.
