Nike Southwest Regional, aka NXR https://nxrsw.runnerspace.com/
Nike Southwest regional xc championships are held each year the third week of November (11/18 this year) at Coyote Run Golf Course, Mesa, AZ.
Trip rules/guidelines:
This is a Cross Country trip, which means the purpose of the trip is to have the best race possible on a very fast course. The goal is to qualify teams for NXN, and while that is a difficult challenge, that is the goal. Therefore, everything we do will be to that end.
During the trip students are expected to be respectful of their teammates, the parent chaperones, the drivers, other hotel guests, other competitors, and the coaches. Students are expected to be in their assigned rooms at the designated times. The hotel has a room list, and students are not authorized to make room adjustments. While at the hotel, you should be conscientious of other hotel guests by following all hotel rules, especially those regarding quiet hours and facility usage. Disruptive and thoughtless behavior will not be tolerated.
At the same time, this trip is going to be a lot of fun. Travelling and being around teammates and friends with a common purpose for a few days is always a fun experience. Please make the experience enjoyable by being inclusive of all your teammates, and following the expectations above.
Because this school isn't done through the school, all absences will need to be parent excused. School approved trips are only allowed every few years, so this one is being done unofficially.
Payment Information
The cost for the trip per athlete is $405. Because this trip is not going through the school, all payment will be made to Dave Austin (Trey's dad), who is kind enough to send payment to LeBus, the hotel, the race, and the lunch we will order. In the groupme, I will share is venmo information. Please include the name of the athlete who is paying so he knows who has paid.
