Athlete/Parent Meeting- Wednesday 8/16 at 6pm in the CV library
Athletes and parents are expected to attend the start of year meeting on Wednesday 8/16 at 6pm in the CV library. We will go over expectations, logistics, parent roles and other important information for the season. We will also be having athletes sign up for the NXR Southwest meet at this time. Additionally, we will be selling old team gear, so if you want to get stocked up, bring a checkbook!
NXR Southwest Meet- November 16-18 Casa Grande, AZ
In November, we have the opportunity to travel to Casa Grande Arizona to compete in the Nike Southwest Regional Meet. The entire team is eligible to take advantage to race on one of the fastest 5k XC courses in the nation. Many of the fastest times in Sabercat history have been run on this course. This is also where athletes and teams qualify for the Nike National meet, a goal we should look forward to in upcoming seasons. Athletes last year said this was one of the best team bonding events of the entire season! For more information, follow this link. Athletes will have the opportunity to sign up at the meeting on Wednesday.
Spike Night- Thursday 8/17 6pm Runner's Roost Lone Tree
Fortunately, cross country is not a sport that requires much equipment, however, the equipment we do use must be of top quality! All athletes need proper footwear for the season to prevent injuries and help make running long distances a little less painful! Running shoes should be replaced about once a season to ensure they retain their cushioning and support. If you have not replaced shoes since the start of summer OR if you have never been properly fitted for running shoes, plan to attend our event at Runner's Roost on Thursday. I cannot stress the importance of proper footwear in injury prevention! This is also a great time to pick up racing flats for the season.
The people at Runner's Roost will not only analyze the gait of every runner and help them find the perfect running shoes, but they will also provide pizza for the team!
