Attention Cross Country
/in Uncategorized /by Saint James SchoolSelect SJS runners have been invited to compete in the conference championship meet at Illing Middle School tomorrow (Thursday) afternoon. While our students won’t be able to formally “place” in this meet, it will serve as a training opportunity for students who will be competing in the Middle School Cross Country Championships at Wickham Park next Saturday (to help prepare them for running with a large group).
Participating runners, notified today by Coach O’Neill, should arrive at Illing Middle School for 3:00pm. The girls’ race kicks off at 4:00pm and the boys race will follow immediately after.
For students that have been invited to compete in the Wickham meet on 11/6, there WILL be practice next Tuesday and Thursday. Coach O’Neill would like to see if families can work out a carpool to get runners to Wickham Park after school. Please reach out to her at sjoneill2@yahoo.com if you can help.
For runners whose season has concluded, we thank you for taking part in this great activity and representing our school! Please wash and air dry uniforms before returning them to the school in a bag labeled with the runner’s name.
