If you have not sent an email in regards to why you aren't cleared we will go over this as well on Monday. The most up to date clearance (as of 2pm today) has been posted.

For those of you still on vacation, the number of weeks you are missing is how far back you should go in the summer training plan.

Athletes make sure you bring water to practice, I would suggest everyone purchasing water bottles this weekend. Enjoy your weekend and see you all Monday morning.

Friday, August 2, 2019

Clearance

As the beginning of the season is vastly approaching, we hope that everyone is getting their training in. To the right you will find the most up to date clearance list, if your name is not on the list it could be due to one of the issues below;

As new lists are received from the athletic office the list on the blog will be updated. If your name is not on the list and you plan on being a part of the team please direct all your questions to montclaircrosscountry@gmail.com.

Also, just a reminder the first official day of cross country practice will be August 12th, if you are unavailable that week it is highly suggested that you do the last week of the preseason training plans posted for each level of athlete to the right.

Youth Track Volunteers

We are looking for some volunteers to give back to the youth in our community during the 2019 Youth Track Series!  We have 2 dates coming up:  Sunday, July 7th and Sunday, July 21st.

Whatever time you could give would be most appreciated!  And, if you know anyone who would like to get involved, please share this post with them! This is a great way to get community service hours plus we want to help Fleet Feet out because they always take care of us. Click the (volunteer now) link below and choose what you’d like to help with. As a team we should help with timing and the track field portion.

Thanks so much for your consideration!  And, thank you to those who have already signed up to help!
