First week of XC season complete! The Community Run/Alumni Run/Team Time Trial was a great success and the coaches and board would like to thank everyone who participated and who volunteered their time early Saturday morning. And, congratulations to Coach Villeneuve and family on the marriage of his daughter following the race!
Some great 5k times were posted (despite the smoky conditions) and some nice improvements for many of the runners returning from last season.

About 1/3 of the team was absent due for various reasons including injuries and illness. Please read the two linked documents on Combating Illness by Eating Well and 7 Healthy Habits.
Please refer to the Cross Country Expectations and Guidelines document - print, sign and return the last page of the contract before the first official meet.
Our Parent Night will be Thursday, Aug 30 at 7 pm in the RHS Cafeteria. This is a very important (and short) meeting, so we ask that each athlete have at least one parent/guardian present. Every parent is automatically a member of the booster club and this will count as one of our two required meetings to retain our tax-exempt status.
