Phoenix,
Well done to those who raced at the Deseret News this morning! It was a lot of fun to see you all and there were some good times and great efforts. Looking forward to what is to come with this team!
Another week down and the summer is starting to wrap up. There is a lot in here so I'll try to make it all clear. There is information concerning the camp, the schedule for the week, getting a physical, the Phoenix 5K, and the team store, which closes Wednesday.
Team Camp - "at-home"
We will be holding a "stay at home" camp during the week of 8/8 - 8/13, which is the week of our first meet. We will be holding practices each morning, Monday-Friday, and will have a team meal/activity each day as well. We will need parents to volunteer to host meals/activities, like swimming or an outdoor movie night. We will be setting individual and team goals during the camp, and working to become the best version of ourselves. I will send out details and specific requests in the coming weeks.

Register my Athlete/Physical
Please remember that each athlete needs to complete the registration at www.registermyathlete.com and complete the physical. This year's fall physical night will be July 26th from 6-8 PM at the high school. It is $25, and you need to have the form printed before going. You do not have to go to this, you may go to your own doctor, obviously, but sometimes it can be difficult to get an appointment, so this is a good option if needed. Whether you come here or to your own doctor, the same form will need to be filled out and signed. It is then uploaded to registermyathlete. You do not need to bring the physical to me, uploading it is sufficient.
Phoenix 5K - postponed
This summer has been very busy for you and all of our coaches, and at this point there is no way we can pull off the Phoenix 5K in August (8/6) when it was originally planned. Some coaches will be out of town on that day, and I'll be out of town at the beginning of the week. Therefore, we are going to postpone the 5K until November, and it may double as a Nike tune-up race for us, as well as a fundraiser. I'll will send an update on that as we get closer.
Team Store
We have put together a team
store for parents, athletes, and anyone to order XC gear. Buying anything
from the store is totally optional, and is separate from the summer shirt
you got/will get for summer xc, and is separate from the uniforms which will be
issued.
When the team store closes, all
orders will be processed and sent to the school in “bundles” of the items you
ordered. With shipping/production delays, I hope most things would be here by
the time school starts. It may be sooner or later than that.
Again, this is optional, and I
hope that you find something that you like and that works for you.
You can access the store here.
You’ll find options for the following items, some of which have 2 brand
options:
t shirt
Long Sleeve T
Hoodies
Crew Neck sweaters
Jackets
Tapered pants
Running tights
If you have any questions please let me know.
Coach Jacobson
