Things to Think About

As we approach the end of the summer it is important that we are reminded of dates that are important.

First, the eligibility meeting this year will be August 4th at 6:00pm in the South Gym.  Please mark it on your calendar to attend!  This is a great way for our parents to get to know the us coaches and receive consistent information about the season!  

The school is going to an online registration this year for all of our activities, so the only paperwork collected will be Physical forms.  The medical information and the MSHSL eligibility form will all be online.  

registration will go live on Tuesday, July 29th.  There will be computers available for people who need at the eligibility meeting as well as in the Career Center. 

Second, the first day of practice is on August 11th at 8:00am in the commons area.
Also please look at the FAQ for some common questions, as well as the Calender for important dates such as meet and practice times.   

Getting Near the End

First, tomorrow(7-12-2014) is Crazy Days in Le Sueur if you need a makeup race for the MRC racing series this is one of them.  

Second, next week (7-19-2014) is BBQ days Bull run.  Make sure that we get out and show the community our enthusiasm for this sport. In addition, we need cross country kids to hand out the Half marathon advertisements during the BBQ days parade like we have done for the last couple of years. Contact Coach Jamison for more information.  

We are now 30days before the start of the season.  Many of you started the summer strong but since then have fizzled the last little bit.  We are at the point of the summer that it is more important than any to get running.  Even if you are not going to hit your mileage goal, you can still help the team get the mileage goal.  This goal is very important it shows how the TEAM puts in the time and miles over the summer.  If you need a group to help you get running the summer leadership has two "practices" everyday.  The times are on the calender.  

Also all practice times for the season as well as meet time are on the calender as well please plan to be at practice every time and day we have practice.  

Keep it up!!!

I have seen and heard of many of you working hard toward your running goals over the summer.  I am most impressed with the offseason dedication of our cross-country athletes.  Keep up the good work.  If we want to have a successful season it take the entire team.  See you at the bull run.

BBQ Days Parade

I am in need of a half dozen cross-country runners to help hand out flyers for the half marathon during the BBQ days parade on Saturday July 19th.  If you want to help email me at sschroeder@belleplaine.k12.mn.us.  Thanks.

Captains Request

Your off-season leaders wanted to clarify what to do in certain weather conditions.

•  If there is rain.  Your leaders will still meet for Captains practice.
•  If there is lightning or thunder there is NO Captains practice.  
•  If it is hot outside. Your leaders will still meet for Captains practice.
