Good Morning XC Families! 

WHEN/WHERE/WHO

Time is flying by and we are at the start of our preseason training. We will be meeting at Kit Carson Park from 4:15-5:30 T/W/Th. We will meet at the giant snake located near the girl scout building. If you can't find it, copy these coordinates into your maps: 33.081297272244456, -117.06077146835469. If that doesn't work just call me :p. 

Everyone is welcome to come out and train, this is a totally optional practice time. It will not affect your placing on the team. I will however say, you are much more likely to make varsity if you get ahead on your training with us. We will take it easy to start and get used to the heat together. If you are willing to put in the work, we'll make sure you improve and have fun! 

Please come hydrated and bring water! You should always be drinking water the day before, don't try to hydrate at practice!

VARSITY

I'll touch on how varsity works in season, it is pretty simple. The top 7 boys and top 7 girls are varsity. Top means the fastest times. This is not permanent and nobody is locked in. It is strictly whoever raced the best times in one week's race will be varsity in the following week's race. Summer training is a huge advantage! 

COMMUNICATION

If this is the first time you are hearing from me, please get comfortable with using the caiman sports app. I sent out a message before our no contact period with a lot of info. Please read the previous message if you have not. 

I try to always double up messages on email and caiman sports, but sometimes only can do one. If you are reading this on caiman sports and would like to be added to the email list, please message me via email or text with your info. 

You can usually expect a message at the start of each week. 

CLEARANCES

As a reminder, you should all be working on getting those athletic clearances completed! All the info you need is here. Don't wait!
