Summer Week 10

Hello Athletes!

This is our final week of summer and our first week of the season! We are so excited for the season ahead. Now is a great time to lock in and decide what you want your season to look like. We will be holding practice everyday from this point on! Your job is to be there everyday ready to go. We also ask that you HYDRATE! It is hot outside, so please make sure you are drinking a lot of water and getting the electrolytes you need. 

RMA:

Everyone needs to get their Register My Athlete complete in order to compete on Saturday August 8th. If you have any questions please ask one of your coaches.

Premier Invitational:

Saturday August 8th we will be competing at the Premier Invite. The bus will leave from FHS at 6:30 am from the east athletic doors. The bus will leave at 6:30 am! The first race will start at 8:15am.

Uniforms:

We will be handing out uniforms on Friday August 7th at FHS. If you don't have a uniform they will be distributed then. These uniforms will be yours to keep for your high school career once they are handed out. It is your responsibility to hold onto them and not loose them. We will charge your school account for your uniform when you get it and that should be the only time we charge for uniforms. 

Phoenix 5K:

The Phoenix 5k is coming up a week from our first invitational. We have some really wonderful sponsors who have agreed to help us! We now need people to compete! Please share this registration form with your friends and family!! We are hoping for 75 runners!

Summer Week 9

 Hello Team!

Our summer has flown by! We are only two weeks away from our first race! Now is the time for you all to come together and work harder than ever. 

XC Camp

Unfortunately, as we said earlier in the week our high altitude camp has been cancelled. So instead we are going to have a day camp on Tuesday July 28th at FHS. We are going to meet in our regular spot. Come prepared to run and learn about running. If you are planning on attending camp fill out this form, so we know how many we will be feeding during camp. Camp will end at the Scott's house for a POOL PARTY!!! 

Phoenix 5k

It is time to spread the news! We will be giving out yard signs and fliers to each athlete. We need as many sponsors, prizes, and runners as we can get! Please share this registration link with any of your running friends! Athletes, if you bring in 3 sponsors (or prizes) you can have a free entry to the race! Pancake breakfast to follow the race! 

Register My Athlete

I heard back from our Athletic director and he wants all RMA done by July 31st!!! Please get your information in AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. There is a Physical Night at FHS on July 30th from 6:15-7:30pm. It costs $20 and the physical is given directly to the athletic director. If you have questions or concerns please reach out to Coach Farrell or Coach Jess.

This week: 

This week looks a little different than normal. We are encouraging everyone to join us for camp and we are going to do our long run on Wednesday and an Alumni run with us on Saturday! We won't meet Wednesday but Saturday. I also want to remind everyone to HYDRATE! We are in record breaking heat at the moment and we need to make sure that we are all healthy and hydrated!
