2008 Cross Country Information

General Information
Text Box: Dear Cross Country Runners and Parents, Important information regarding Freedom Meet 9/11/08 The girls run will begin at 3:30 and the boys will run after. No practice today due to Faculty meeting. Cross Country is a 1 ˝ mile course that utilizes a variety of surfaces throughout the run (gravel, pavement, grass, up and down hills, etc) thus getting its name cross country. Runners need to train long and hard in preparation for meets. Please be sure to hydrate (drink plenty of liquid – especially water) throughout the day. Our season is limited and unfortunately we will need to run on hot days so drink plenty. Students need to listen to announcements and look for signs posted by Coach Clark’s and Mrs. McAllister’s gym door. Green – Practice is on. Yellow – Practice is questionable. We will let students know by 1:00 if practice is canceled. Red – Practice is canceled. A current sport physical may be turned in to Mrs. Sanford as soon as possible. If you do not have a current physical you must get one before August 30th. The is a $35 activity fee to be paid as soon as possible Emergency forms must be completed before students can participate. (Turn in Money and Emergency forms to Mrs. McAllister) Practice will conclude at 3:30, please pick on up time and in front of school (bus lane). We look forward to a great season.
