High school XC practice is only two weeks away (August 8th) for those interested in running this season. Every athlete will need to have physical and insurance forms submitted before the first practice.
For the HS, we are setting a high goal. We want to send not only individuals to state, but an entire team to state. To achieve this high goal, we have to hold a high standard in our preparation in order to get there. I will be at the school this week on M/W/F (July 25, 27, & 29) at 7am for anyone who wants to get a jump on conditioning.
Next week (Aug 1-5) is dead week which means that coaches cannot be present and school facilities cannot be used for training. Athletes may still run on their own or with teammates (off campus) to help prepare themselves for when practice begins. I would encourage everyone to do so.
The temps will be hot and we will be starting practice at 4pm beginning August 8, so be sure you are drinking water even now (NO SODA!) By getting a start on conditioning and proper hydration, athletes will help their bodies be better able to endure the extreme conditions.
Jr. High athletes should follow these same steps to prepare and report for the first jr. high practice on August 15th at 4pm.
