Other News:
Mark your calendars on Friday, October 7 for an (Optional)“Apple Run” We will meet in the morning at the high school and car pool over to a park for a trail run. Afterward, we will go to a nearby orchard for some apple picking good times. Please note, if apples are in short supply this late in the season it could turn into a "pumpkin run" instead. We will return to the high school in the late afternoon. Watch the blog for more specifics toward the end of the month.
While marking your calendars, Varsity runners (required) and those looking to push themselves to be the best they can be, will have a morning practice on Saturday Oct. 8 (the day after the Apple run)
A call for Photography from Parents and PHS XC fans : If you happen to have some photos from meets or other team activities during the season you are willing to share, we could really use the help in obtaining images for our season end slide show. They don't need to be just racing, but all the times in between are also appreciated, from group stretching, cheering or those crashed out in the tent after a hard race. If you would like to share we can send home a thumb drive on which you can quickly drop a copy of images. Thanks as always for your support and let us know if you can help.
-SWEATS - While this week looks to be a bit warm, cool and rainy days will come soon enough. Be prepared and bring extra socks/shirt and sweats from here on out. As it gets cooler hats and gloves will also be necessary. Please remember meet sweats are only for meets. Don't spend a fortune on sweats, any nylon sweats from Target, Kohls or Walmart will work great. You can get cotton garden gloves for $1.00 at most stores and I found a great hat myself for two bucks at walmart.
- Meet Attendance- If for some reason you can not attend a meet (and it needs to be a really good reason), please let your Coach know as soon as possible. An email or simply a hand written note is fine. This information is very helpful to the coaches when entering meets.
