3.  Sign up on the Remind app for messages and alerts.  I will send a message if we have to cancel due to summer storms.  Send a text to 81010 with the message @mrmsxc2021

Registration is now open.

*If you are interested in optional practices and xc communications in the meantime, please have a parent join our Cross Country 2021 group on the Remind App.  Send a text to 81010 with the message @mrmsxc2021

If you are thinking of trying out for cross country this year, please register early so you will start to receive all email communications about optional practices, weekly workout plans and tryout information.

Summer workouts are optional but attending at least a couple of them is recommended.  It is helpful for the runners to see what to expect at our practices and learn our cross country course for tryouts.  If you are unable to attend practices, it is important that you follow the weekly training plans that we send out.  Runners need to build their endurance and tolerance to the heat.  Once tryouts are complete, we will build on that training to prepare for our first meet.  

Optional Workout Schedule: 6pm-7:30pm on these dates

June 14, 15, 17, 21, 22, 24, 28, 29

July 1, 12, 13, 15

Tryouts will be the week of July 26th.  Days and Times TBD

*We are holding a mock tryout at the July 12 practice 6pm-7:30pm.
