I hope everyone has had an amazing summer and is getting excited for their first day of school tomorrow!
I am very happy to announce that this past week we started the 2023 DHS XC Season! Yes!! This past week your runners worked hard and played hard! On Tuesday, we ran a 2-set hill workout to get some great endurance and form training! The runners impressed all of the coaches with their grit on the hills this week. On Friday, the runners had to work together by finding their captains and coaches who hid around the DHS Campus! The runners competed in teams and the winning team will be announced at practice on Monday this week! We are looking forward to another awesome week of DHS XC! Here is what it will look like:
Monday 8/7: 3:40-5:15pm practice at DHS Track - Please get some sleep before the first day of school!
Tuesday 8/8: 3:40-5:15pm practice at DHS Track
Wednesday 8/9: 3:40-5:15pm practice at DHS Track - After practice, come support our program and get fitted in some sleek (and discounted) running shoes at our Road Runner Sports Night from 6-8:00pm! There will be pizza and employees who will make sure you get the best shoe for you! For more information, please see the posts in the XC News Tab!
Thursday 8/10: Place Race! We will meet at the Ampitheater at Brook Run Park at 4:00pm. Please do not report to the track today! Parents, feel free to come cheer on your runner!
Friday 8/11: 6:00am-7:00am practice at DHS Track - Don't be late!
One more announcement:
- Runners, if you have not turned in a summer log and/or contract, you are not permitted to practice with the team until you do so. Coach Chriszt will be checking at the beginning of practice and will send you home if either of these documents are not turned in.
- Our first meet is fast approaching! On August 22nd at Druid Hills Middle School, we will be competing in the Dekalb County Meet #1 at 5:15pm. I have requested a bus to pick us up at 4:00pm. Please understand that our county is incredibly short staffed for bus drivers and this plan might change. Be on the lookout for more information as we get closer to the meet.
Thank you to the runners, coaches, parents, and everyone else who has made this first week of DHS XC 2023 a success! See you tomorrow!
Go Wildcats!!
