XC SEASON STARTS SOON!

Official cross country practice begins Monday, August 15, 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 8—12) in the athletic office at the high school (740 Rose Avenue W). Registration times are Mon—Wed 8:00 AM—3:00 PM, Thu 4:00—7:00 PM, and Fri 8:00—11:00 AM. Call 651-293-6665 for more information.

Athletes and their parents will need to complete and sign some forms, and pay the $55 fee ($30 for those on free or reduced lunch). They also need to have an up-to-date physical (within the last 3 years) on file with the athletic department.

The practice schedule for the first three weeks of the season is below. Athletes shoud plan to attend practice every day – the team has a lot to accomplish prior to the start of school. The boys’ team has a Conference title to defend. The girls’ team has a core group that needs to come together and get stronger.

Practice time prior to the start of school is 4:30 p.m., with a few exceptions. Once the school year begins, practice will begin at 2:30 p.m. as usual. Optional Saturday practices will be hosted by team members at 9:00 a.m.

If you have any questions, please give coach Chris Lundstrom a call at (612) 381-7970 (cell) or send an email: clundstr@hotmail.com. See you Monday, August 15 at 4:30 p.m.
