Other important stuff:

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 flash 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.

Team T-shirts: We have a limited supply of team shirts left and available to family and friends. The price is $10.oo a shirt (after previous purchase of the first team member shirt) and will be sold on a first come - first serve basis. Team members should see Coach Zoll to purchase these shirts.

Upcoming Meets: -Forest Park XC Festival -Sept. 8
