Hello XC Families,
As summer is coming to a close and we are gearing up for school and our first XC meet we wanted to pass along some team information.
- XC practice is Monday–Friday 4:00 at Sheldon Track. Starting the first day of school Wednesday September 9th we will begin meeting at 3:45 after school.
- We want to remind you to communicate conflicts that your son or daughter may have throughout the season in advance via email. The sooner we know the better. Attendance at practice is very important. We encourage the athletes to communicate with coaches of their potential conflicts or work schedules.
- Our first XC meet is Friday September 4th. We provide transportation to the XC meet for all athletes; parents can take their son or daughter home after the meet, but we strongly encourage kids stay for the entire meet to support their teammates. We do provide transportation back to Sheldon at the conclusion of the meet.
