XC Practice is canceled this week
September 6th and 8th

Sometimes, mother nature is so cranky it’s pretty obvious and that’s where we are with practice this week.

Practice is officially canceled both Tuesday and Thursday due to ridiculous heat.  

The bad news? Kids won’t have many practices experience before their first meet on Friday Sept 16th.

The good news? This group is the best group of athletes we’ve had in years. Every single one of them went a mile and a half on our first day in the trails with…wait for it….ZERO COMPLAINING. It’s a Christmas miracle.
