This week we have our cross country banquet at the school at 6 PM. If you haven't paid for your extra people attending please do so ASAP. Again, I will pay for the athlete's meal, parents or other attendees need to pay ($10 each).
Also, we have footlocker coming up in 5 weeks. If you signed up to go, you need to pay your money ASAP to the office. Also don't forget that YOU need to sign yourself up for the race. I don't sign you up for this one like other races in the past so please go to Footlocker West and sign up for your race.

For practices from here until Footlocker we will meet on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays to do workouts. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays we will not meet officially as a team but you should still be running.

Last Full Week of October
Farmington!! Great job last week at state. Way to represent. Thanks to everyone who came and supported our team. Our girls placed 7th and our boys snagged 3rd place. Not too bad for our first year. We got some great experience and we put our school on the map. Great job to everyone who ran and congrats to Elisabeth for placing 6th and earning all-state honors.
Thanks to the Orison's for hosting our team dinner last week and thanks to all those who helped with food. Thanks again to everyone who helped with the team dinners this year. You guys are all so great.
This week we will pick things back up on Wednesday and continue training for Footlocker. Please come to practice if you are going to Footlocker. We will meet a few times this week and then we will meet on workout days a few times a week.
