Week 1 Complete!!!

Congratulation to the 44 boys who have completed week one of cross country! We have battled heat and humidity to make it through a great first week. As the boys continue to work hard we hope to see improvement in both mileage runs and workouts. The boys will begin this week preparing for their first race (Intersquad) with some interval training to start learning pace.

Practice schedules change this week...refer to the schedule

Athletes should still be selling their SPARTAN CARDS...money is due by Wed August 27th. Each athlete should try to sell at least 20 cards. (Athletes who sell 20 cards recieve a FREE Memorial Sweatshirt, 2 FREE Spartan Cards, a pick from the cash bag ($5, $10, $20, or $100), and a raffle ticket to win a Wii gaming system...additionally the top sellers earn $2 per card sold)

Information is coming home about clothing orders...please discuss with your sons their options and return orders and money by August 30th.

All paperwork must be turned in by FRIDAY August 29th (the roster will close on this day, if you are missing paperwork...you will not be on the team)

Have a great weekend and happy running :P

Practice Begins

We have started practice with 40 guys on our team!!! We are battling the heat and continue to remind the guys to drink fluids, eat right, STRETCH, and get some sleep this week. If you have any questions that come up, please feel free to contact me via e-mail or phone.

BLITZ cards came home on Tuesday. Your sons are responsible for trying to sell 20 cards at $20 a piece. These cards are Memorial Athletics only fundraising done throughout the school year. Each child who sells 20 cards will be eligible for multiple prizes; including a Wii or a $1,000 scholarship. Please encourage your sons to sell all their cards by Wed August 27th!!!
