July 7-12

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.

We have only had 14 athletes respond about XC Camp and there are over 65 on the roster, so please respond to the survey if you haven't yet. Camp will be August 4-6.  HERE is the link.  Everyone on the team should respond either way! 

We have to have final camp numbers by next week, because we have to figure cost based on bus and driver, Dorms, Meals, -order t-shirts, and pay for District Insurance.  We would highly recommend all of you going to camp, if you are able.  We have taken 36-40 athletes the past 3 years and that is the plan again.  If you unable to attend please let Coach Barnes know ASAP.  Once everything is purchased you could be charged a deposit fee for a late exit.  See the Overnight Travel Page above for more info.

Thanks to all of those athletes who have been diligent in getting your mileage in and reporting it in a timely manner!  If you have been slacking in these things, it is time to pick it back up and and get on track, we are already 5 weeks into summer.  we will send out what has been reported on the groupmes.

Also the daily temps are starting to go up this week, so hydrate really well so you can feel good and train good.
