Phoenix XC! What a week. Great job to everyone at the region championships this past week. Everyone came ready to run and all the hard work paid off. Great job everyone! Congrats to the boys and girls JV and Varisty teams (Everyone) for winning region. Also a shout out to Hope Smith, Nick Siddoway, and Elisabeth Ferrell on the individual titles. Here is the link to the results.
If you have any pictures from region or from the year. Please load them on to the team photo album located HERE.
A few things to put in your calendars, the team banquet will be on November 7th at the school. Pre-NXN will be on November 13th (a race for everyone at Layton Park). NXR will be on November 23rd (Saturday before Thanksgiving). This will not be a school trip it is parent sponsored but it will cost roughly $200 for the trip. We will take our varsity teams and then the rest of the spots will be filled on a first come first serve basis. The link to sign up will be coming later this week once final numbers are calculated on cost. More info coming but the bus will be a Le Bus that will take off on Thursday morning the 21st of November. The bus will return early early Sunday morning.
Also, remember to bring in toilet paper this week for the service project. There will be a box just outside the office. This is a competition between the swim and volleyball team as well so let's bring in that TP! Thanks!
Those that wish to keep training with us are welcome to come to practice any time but it is not required that you come to practice unless you are serious about going to NXR.
