No PRACTICE this morning due to rain 

Friday practices are completely optional! if your kid wants to come run today we are still having practice. wear layers a little rain never hurt anyone! better than 100° weather!

Friday Practices we meet at Lower Campus before we run Kentucky Greens. If you arrive after the team has left please don’t have your students run the road to meet with us. We are off campus for this run and it's important we stay together! Eat a light breakfast, dress in layers!

Practices-

• First two weeks: Mondays at 1:45 p.m. and Wednesdays at 2:45 p.m. (Friday @7:15 optional)

• After that:

  • Mondays at 1:45 p.m. (conditioning and drills)

  • Fridays at 7:15 a.m. (optional a.m. practices, where we take a few-mile run down Kentucky Greens for a true cross country feel with elevation changes)

Attendance matters, these sports give back what you put in! That said, we understand that conflicts will arise and will be flexible.
