July 18-23

We would like to reiterate the importance of being at practice!  Those who have been committed and coming regularly are seeing the positive results.  Some of you are finding a lot of reasons to not show up daily, even when you are at home, and this will never pay off and only gets you behind or sometimes injured.  We try to be very flexible with summer practices, especially compared to other fall sports or even other school XC teams, so that you can have family time and vacations, etc.  However, some tend to take advantage of this flexibility and are not committed enough, and you are starting to find yourself behind already.  Make practices and your training a priority.  Also, make any team challenges a priority.  Your training and participation is a lot bigger than you, it benefits the entire team and program.  Be committed and be a contributor to the good of the team.  This starts with your commitment, attitude, and communication.

Please start getting all eligibility requirements taken care of in the next two weeks, the deadline will come very soon, we are 6 weeks into a 10 week summer.  Fees will be added at a later date, but  RMA, grades, and physicals should all be taken care of ASAP.

We would like to see you do a 24th race of sort if you are able.  Those who would like to run the Deseret News 10k on Saturday, the code is: RunDeseretHS.  It can be used for a $35 race entry, and families can use this code too.  There is an HS team competition as well in the 10k.  The code would also give $20 off the half.  Register HERE

Those going to camp, we will have itineraries out at practice this week.  Right now there are 35 of you, and we still have a couples spots we could get some of you in if you want.  If you haven't gotten paperwork yet, Coach Barnes will have it at practice everyday.
