Final Weekly Email

Great racing today at the IMC District Championships!  Even though we didn't reach our goal of competing at state as a team, we are still proud of your performances today and throughout the season.  We've had a lot of fun and success throughout the year and look forward to setting new goals with you next season. 

Congratulations to Inteus and Kelsey on their individual qualifications!  Any varsity athletes or those planning to attend the Boise race are encouraged to come train with Inteus and Kelsey next week.  We will be meeting at the XC tree at 3:00 (not 3:15) all next week (except for Monday due to our team meeting - see below).  We hope to see some of you cheering them on at State next Saturday.

On Monday we will have an important team meeting for all freshmen, sophomore and junior runners with the goal of running varsity at some point during their high school career.  We will be sharing about an exciting new program to encourage maintaining running fitness throughout the year.  We will meet in Bohnlein's classroom (E9) at 3 pm.

Here are a few announcements:

Saturday Trail Run (tomorrow 10/28)

We will be meeting tomorrow at 2pm at Drake Park and carpooling to Phil's Trailhead for a trail run.  This is specifically for Inteus and Kelsey but any District racers are welcome to join!  We should be back to Drake Park by 3:30.

Uniform Returns

Uniform turn-ins will be Monday (10/31) in Bohnlein's classroom (E9) from 2:45 - 3:00 (prior to our team meeting).  Please wash your uniform before returning.  Students who do not return their old and new uniform will be fined for each item not turned in. 

End of Season Banquet

Our end of season banquet has been re-scheduled for Monday, November 7th at 6pm in Aspen Hall at Shevlin Park to accommodate a number of athletes attending the Nike Regional Meet in Boise, Idaho.  This is not a team-sponsored event, but our team captains are organizing a group and all team members are welcome to attend.  Talk to a captain for more information.

Expect the team banquet to last till about 9pm.  We will have food catered from Tate and Tate with both a meat and vegetarian option.  The team will cover the cost of all team athletes – athletes must RSVP for the team to pre-order and cover their meal cost.  We will check with athletes at practice to confirm attendance – please email me if you won’t be at practice.  Family members may attend for free, but if you wish to eat, meals are $11/person and must be paid in advance on Touchbase which is currently setup for payment.  The deadline to pre-order your meal is Monday, October 31st.

Winter/Spring Sports

With cross country coming to an end shortly, we strongly encourage all athletes to participate in another sport during the winter and spring seasons to maintain fitness for next cross country season.  Let me know if you need any information about options that are available.
