Other News:

Friendly reminder: 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.

Team T-shirts: We have a limited supply of team shirts left and available to family and freinds. 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.

-SWEATS - Starting this past weekend, it appears the cooler temps (great for running!) of Fall may actually occur on a regular basis . 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.
