Also, bring a water bottle. We will be running on the first day of practice! Any athletes that require an inhaler, please bring those too!Since we are getting a later start this year I would encourage you to begin running now if you haven’t followed a training plan over the summer. It will help you be ready for the first day of practice and (hopefully) help you not be as sore the first week of practice. Don’t worry about being fast, just put in some miles between now and the first day of practice.The schedule for cross-country meets is forthcoming and will be posted on the school website when completed.Coach Pearl
