July 27th - Aug. 1st

We hope everyone had a safe and fun Pioneer day weekend. Great job to everyone who was in town and came to practice on Friday. We saw some great times posted with lots of improvements. Check out the "Nerd Report" on the tabs to the left to see your improvement if you can't remember. We had not only a new boys course record set but we had 3 boys beat the previous course record. We've done all this with mostly just base work. Keep being consistent and we'll see some wonderful things happen this season.

Camp registration has closed and we have a good group going. Here is the Map and Itinerary for camp as well as the actual registration form. I need everyone to bring me the 3rd page printed and filled out to practice this week before we go to camp next Monday (the 3rd). In addition to running attire and other play clothes you will be responsible for bringing your own tents/pads and sleeping bags and/or pillows and blankets to sleep. Boys and girls will have different camp locations. If you aren't able to bring a big tent to be socially distant from your neighbors, bring your own tent to make sure we aren't getting too close to others at the camp. Pack your masks!!

We also have the Phoenix 5k coming up in under two weeks (August 8th). If you haven't yet, please go on and fill out the 2020 Phoenix 5k Registration Form so I know who is planning on going. Start bringing those prizes in to practice and get those sponsors coming in. I need to have all the sponsors logos in to me by Thursday night to ensure they get on our t shirts. 

ELIGIBILITY - If you need a physical tomorrow night (Monday July 27th) there is a fall sports physical night for only $25. All the funds go back to the school. This is actually going to be at the high school in the wrestling room at 6:00 PM. This is a fast and easy way to get your physical for the year knocked out. If you aren't going to go, make sure you have a physical scheduled with your doctor ASAP as eligibility is due on August 5th. Go on and get your Register My Athlete done.
