2010 Season Coming Soon

The Como Park cross country team has developed a strong tradition of practicing consistently, competing hard, and having fun. We welcome runners and of all abilities, and strive to improve together. If you are interested in running on the team this fall, read on!

Official practice begins Monday, August 16, at 4:30 p.m. at the front doors of the high school. Student-athletes must register for cross country the week before practice begins (August 9—13) in the athletic office at the high school (740 Rose Avenue W). Registration times are Mon—Wed 10:00 AM—3:00 PM, Thu 4:00—7:00 PM, and Fri 8:00—11:00 AM. Call 651-293-6665 for more information.

You and your parents will need to complete and sign some forms, and pay your $45 fee ($20 for those on free or reduced lunch). You also need to have an up-to-date physical (within the last 3 years) on file with the athletic department. It’s very important that you take care of these things, as you will not be able to practice before you do.

I have enclosed a practice schedule for the first three weeks of the season. Please plan to attend practice every day – we have a lot to accomplish prior to the start of school. Note that the normal practice time prior to the start of school is 4:30 p.m. Once the school year begins, practice will begin at 2:30 p.m. as usual, with optional Saturday practices hosted by team members at 9:00 a.m.

If you have any questions at all, or if you just want to say hi, please give me a call at (612) 381-7970 (cell) or 612-824-1679 (home) or send me an email: clundstr@hotmail.com. Otherwise, see you Monday, August 16 at 4:30 p.m.
