Nov. 4th - Nov 9th - Banquet Week

Great week of training guys. Thanks for those who have been coming to practice and continuing to work hard. If you are signed up to go to NXR and would still like to go I suggest you get to practice. We will not take you if you have not been coming to practice. Those that are going we need you to fill out a release form which needs to be filled out and signed by your parents and emailed to NXR. So please download the NXR Release form, fill it out, and email it to NXR.Waivers@nike.com ASAP.

Next week info regarding specifics on NXR will be posted but we need one more parent to help drive the 12 passenger van down to NXR. Thomas Jardine's Dad will be driving but would like another parent to help with the long drive. Please contact coach Brower if you are willing and able to help drive the van down. Thank you! If you are going to NXR please pay your $200 to Marie Spackman via Venmo @emspackman.

We have our banquet coming up this Thursday night. I need to turn in the head count by Monday afternoon (tomorrow) so if you haven't filled out the banquet form please do so NOW or we won't have food for you at the banquet. If you are bringing parents, please pay in the main office into the cross country account for them ($10 a parent).  Also this is the last call for pictures from the season if you have them. Please add them to our 2019 XC Photo Album.

For the banquet this week, if you would like to help with setup, decorations or would like to help donate to cover the cost of some of these things, please contact Marcia Mitchell: 801-455-8478.

This week we are still training so follow the schedule below:

Monday November 4th - 3:15 PM @ FHS
7:15 PM @ FHS Auditorium NCSA Night - We have a wonderful opportunity to have a rep from NCSA come and talk to our school about the FREE services available from NCSA that will help our team make connections with colleges (of all locations and sizes). I would highly recommend everyone who can attend to do so, even if you aren't sure that you are capable to run at the next level. There are tons of college teams out there and you never know what their standards/requirements are to run for them. There are so many neat FREE features that you will learn about here so please come. This is not just for seniors but 9-12 graders! This is not intended to sell you anything, more of an education night for college recruiting. COME!

Tuesday November 5th - OYO - Get in a recovery run on your own (4-7 miles).

Wednesday November 6th - 3:15 PM @ FHS

Thursday November 7th - 3:15 PM @ FHS
FHS Banquet @ 6:00 PM. We will be doing it in the FHS commons area like we did last year. Please fill out the RSVP link at the top if you are wanting to come. Please come best dressed.

We had a great week at the state championships this past week as our boys team made history being the first program in Farmington history to win a state championship. Our boys were 1st and our girls also brought home some hardware with a 2nd place finish. What an incredible finish in our second year as a school. Big shout out to everyone who helped take part in this week with the team dinner on Tuesday, the cheering section (which was the best one there) and those who raced. Thank you thank you thank you for all of your hard work. Let's keep building the legacy here at Farmington that will continue for many years to come.
