Team Rules

1) Attendance at every practice is mandatory; if there is a problem, please see Coach Mac immediately. This includes Saturday’s and holiday’s. Missing practice could result in you being held out of a race.

2) Treat each other and opponents with respect! We are a class program.

3) Do every run; do not cut a run short or deviate from what you were told to do. If you are sick or there is another problem see Coach Mac.

4) The school provides buses for every race, you are expected to go with the team on the bus and come back on the bus. If you want to go home from the race you can go with your parents only! If you live close to where the race is taking place then make arrangements with Coach Mac if you want to meet the team there.

5) Everyone can improve with effort, desire and determination, so this is what we as coaches want to see daily. Anyone can make the varsity and that should be every runner’s goal.

Information:

There are three levels in Cross Country (Varsity, Junior Varsity, and Frosh/Soph).

Clovis Invitational (Fresno) trip:

We will be taking 12 – 14 runners this year, the transportation and hotel will be paid from the Cross Country fundraiser.
Determining who goes; whoever is training in the varsity group will be considered first, then effort in practice, then time.

Lettering varsity or running on the varsity requirements:
1) Top seven runners by time
2) Workouts – if a lot of runners are close in time then workouts are used as tie breakers.
3) Attendance – some runners have put in a lot of time during the summer.
4) Breaking 17:00 twice – we run on three fast courses this year.
