Preseason

Athletes, the preseason workouts have been posted for each group. Each plan goes for 6 weeks and the groups are separated as such;

Varsity: Sophomores through Seniors if you feel as though the long run days are too long cut the mileage in half. Remember this is at your pace except for the day. Also, please make sure you all follow the training schedule as well. It has the body weight and mobility circuits you will need to help keep you strong and healthy.

Sprinters: You all have your own workout as well, on Monday, Wednesday and Friday do the sprinter workout. On Tuesday, Thursday (Optional Saturday) do the sprinter warm up and the workout on the freshman workout for that day. There will be

Freshman/New to XC: this sheet is for all athletes that are new to cross country and freshman. It can also be used for JV athletes for at least the first three weeks if you feel as though the varsity sheet is too much for you. After the first three weeks then move to week one of the varsity sheet.

Parents and athletes please keep an eye on the blog as there will be updates posted through the summer in regards to captains practice and when we will start official practice. If you have any questions or concerns email Coach Washington at runningmounties@gmail.com.

XC Registration

Please note that yesterday Genesis opened up for online registration for fall sports. Parents an email from Joe Pellegrino explaining the districts process has been sent to you. Please note that we are not turning in physicals or any paperwork at this time. We are also not uploading any physicals at this time. NJSIAA is considering not mandating new physicals for rising sophomores through seniors which means only incoming freshmen will need them. Please encourage incoming freshmen to use the same forms we always have that can be found on our athletic page https://mhs.montclair.k12.nj.us/athletics/mandatory_athletic_forms.

Please let me know if you have any questions at runningmounties@gmail.com. At this time we do not know when we will return to the building so parents/guardians can only register online. The cut off day is July 9th.
