Firth Mud Run Results

Great work this weekend! Both boys and girls showed their toughness and groovy sense of style and fashion while swimming the moats and braving the sands at Sandy Downs. It was a blast...it's hard to tell if the brown chunks in your teeth are from the dirt and mud or from the pie that was snarfed on the bus. Full Results can be found HERE.

Photos soon to follow. See you Monday!

Midnight Madness Coming Up!

The 2009 XC season will begin promptly at 12:00:01 a.m. on August 17th. Show up at least 10 minutes early with a sleeping bag, a pad, and a light to run with. We will hold our second practice at 7 a.m. after some food and some sleep. More details on the season have been emailed. See you at Midnight!

It's Not Too Late!!!!!

There are just under 3 weeks left until Midnight Madness! Can you believe it? This summer has flown by and now we are staring down the barrel of another season. If you have not got in as much running as you should have it is not too late. Three weeks is enough time to close the gap with your teammates. So get out and run! Just a few reminders.

It is no contact time with coaches from now until the start of the season. Get together anyway and get some running in on Wednesday nights!

If you are around this weekend I would encourage you to get come and run the Swift Creek 5k--Register at the Afton Town Hall.

Keep working hard-the sky's the limit!
