Parent Notes

2009-2010              OJH Cross Country Runners

 

We will start practice this week, with our first practice on Tuesday, August 25th after school. Be ready to run at 3:00 pm and we should be done by 3:45 - 4:00pm. We will meet outside in the front of the school in the shade to begin practice. Your Participation Form needs to be turned in to Mr. Selk as soon as possible. ** Make sure both sides of the form are signed by you and your parents. Your $20 participation fee needs to be paid in the office to Mrs. Shaw and the receipt brought to me, so I will have a record of who has paid. All participation fees need to be paid by Friday September 4th. If you have not paid by then you will not be on the team.

 

            Each runner should be running on their own as well as practice especially on the weekends and holidays. Our season is only 7 weeks. If you need to miss practice please let Mr. Selk know before hand.

 

            Cross country does not have tryouts and no one is cut. Our top 10 runners will run Varsity and the rest will run on the JV team. To make the Varsity team, I will go by your times during the 4 meets before the District Championship Meet.
