MMS Cross Country
Open to all 6th, 7th, and 8th Grade Students
Families,
Welcome to the MMS Cross Country season! I am thrilled to be coaching this year’s team. As a lover of running, I look forward to getting to know your runner better and enjoying a fun-filled cross country season. I have attached this year’s schedule of meets. Please take note that most races will require students to get transportation outside of McKinleyville.
Here is some information regarding our upcoming season:
- Everyone at MMS is welcome to be a part of our team
- Students need to wear appropriate clothing and running shoes for every practice
- Bringing a water bottle everyday is highly encouraged
- Practices will be held from 3:30-4:40 every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday (unless prior notice is given for a different time)
- We will meet on the 8th grade field to start every practice
- All runners are expected to follow the school rules: Be Safe, Be Respectful, and Be Responsible
- Runners must meet eligibility requirements in order to practice and compete with the team
- Have fun!
Practice starts Tuesday, Sept. 10th! If you have any questions please feel free to call, text, or email:
