Hello MSXC Families,

The “regular/official” Shamrock Middle School Club Cross Country will begin on Tuesday, August 18th at 9:00am.  We will meet at Sheldon High School for the the first practice and then I would like to meet at Pre’s Trail for other practices up until school starts, but we will need a few more parent volunteers to pull that off- a few extra adults who are willing to stand out on the trail as a check point for kids so they don’t get lost or feel over-whelmed at first.  (It is pretty simple, but even adults can get a little turned around if you not familiar and we want to be sure the kids’ first experience is positive and we keep an eye on them).

NOTE:  It would be GREAT if kids can wear their own watch to every practice 🙂 You can pick up a simple watch with a timer at Target or other stores- nothing super fancy, just need to be able to time!
