The Season is Finally here!

Golden Eagles--

RUNNERS ON YOUR MARK!!!

 
After all the many miles ran, the hard work, the early mornings, the laughs, and the countless otter pops the cross country season is finally upon us. Monday we have practice as usual at 3:00pm at MMHS. This will be the day for you that were on vacation last week to get your uniforms and to turn in that missing paperwork. We need all of the paperwork from all of you in order to compete. Tuesday not only is the first day of school but we have our first meet of the year as we host Pre-Region at MMHS. The girls will race at 4:00pm and the boys will race at 4:30pm. This is the first step towards our TEAM goals. Just a note we want to hold all of our Wednesday practice at Ira Allen Park in Mapleton (1750 S 800 W Mapleton, UT 84664) at 3:00pm. Practice will be at MMHS on the other days of the week. And yes we will be having practice on Fridays. No Fridays was just a summer thing. We have amazing parents who will be providing TEAM dinners as part of our TEAM nights this season. They will be on Thursdays nights at 6:00pm. These are always wonderful dinners and a great time to hang out with your TEAMMATES as well. Information about where these dinners will take place will be given at practice. Thanks to all of your parents for their help and support. Finally this week we will be racing at the Grass Relays on Saturday August 28th at American Fork High School. (American Fork High School, 510 N. 600 E. American Fork, Utah.) This is one of the funnest races of the season and we really look forward to seeing you all race this fun course. The bus will be leaving from MMHS at 6:30am! Make sure you are on the bus so that we can have enough time to get you all registered and have enough time to warm up before your faces. The race schedule is as follows:
8:00 A.M.: Girls J.V. 2 Mile Race-Frosh/Soph
8:20 A.M.: Boys J.V. 2 Mile Race -Frosh/Soph
8:35 A.M.: Girls J.V. 2 Mile Race-Jr./Sr.
8:55A.M.: Boys J.V. 2 Mile Race -Jr./Sr.
9:10 A.M.: Girls Varsity Relay ( Top 5 Girls, 2 Miles Each Leg)
10:30 A.M.: Boys Varsity Relay (Top 5 Boys, 2 Miles Each Leg)


This will be a very busy and exciting week. Keep "holding the rope" and working towards our TEAM goals and your individual goals as we rise above.


Happy Running!
