Saturday - Tumbleweed Park
Your boys are working extremely hard, and I'm proud of their progress. Please assist your boys in being at every practice. A missed practice means falling short of our mileage goals, which sets back the progression of our practice schedule and our team goals.
Sat. Sept. 8
Be at Mesa High at 6:45 am.
Fresh. Race: 8:20am
Soph.: 9:00
Jun.: 9:35
Sen.: 10:05
Awards: 10:45
Tumbleweed Park is located on the corner of McQueen and Germann Road. It's a great course to view and cheer on our runners. Remember to wear purple if possible.

Good To Great
What does it mean to be great? What does it take to be great? I believe you have greatness in you. You believe that! You are at the bottom of the mountain with only your blood and guts to get to the top. Be excited, it's your turn to leave your mark and legacy. Be great!
Runner/Parent info
My expectaions are these:
1-Come to ALL practices and be on time.
2-No drinking, smoking, or drugs. (This includes any pills not prescribed to you from your doctor.)
3-Pass all your classes all the time.
4- NO intramurals from Aug. 12 - Nov. 3
5- Curfew is as follows Sunday-Thursday 10:00pm. Friday or Saturday 12:00am. If you are out late Friday night you then must be in by 10:00pm Saturday night.
Missed practices or tardy practices must be accompanied by a note from your parent when you return. If you are at school and ditch practice this is inexcusable. The second time you will be dismissed from the team.
You get one chance on rule two.
I will check your class grades randomly. If you are failing you will be put on probation and given two weeks to raise your grade to passing.
You will not let the team down by getting injured playing another sport.
Great runners must get their rest.
My rules are few, but non-negotiable.
Difficulties allow us to be great. You'll face pressure, nerves, other good runners, my practices, etc. this season. The challenge will be to enjoy the difficult times and feel yourself getting stronger. You'll risk looking silly, disappointment, and losing, but if you commit to climbing this mountain with me, you'll be great and inspire it in others. Be great.
We can't get better if you don't get better.

WELCOME TO THE 2007 XC SEASON
I've created this blog to keep everyone -- runners and parents alike -- up to date on meet and practice schedules and any other news that affects the team.
I'll post at least once a week, so check back often. I may even include training tips, photos, nutritional information and other helpful links.
