Congratulations to all runners at the Menomonie Relays. It was a hot, muggy day, but many girls ran a season PR despite the weather. Varsity girls took 3rd out of 9 teams and JV girls took 4th out of 5 teams. Click on the link to the right for full results.

Next week we travel to Wausau East High school for the Smilely Invite.

INFORMATION FOR OUR FIRST PRACTICE

a. Please make sure you are cleared to practice through the athletic office.

b. Even though practice officially begins at 8:00 AM, you should plan on meeting in the wrestling room at Memorial High School by 7:50 AM. Please use the athletic entrance to Memorial High School to gain access to the building. This entrance is located on the east side of the building by the soccer fields.

c. Please bring a lock to lock up your valuables if you plan on using one of the lockers in the team locker room. If you use the entrance I've described above, you will pass the girls' team locker room on your way to the wrestling room.

d. Please bring a watch with a timing function every day to practice.

e. Please bring a water bottle to practice every day. You may want to write your name on the bottle so you don't confuse yours with another athlete's bottle.

f. Bring something to "refuel" with. This is something to eat and/or drink after practice to replenish energy stores that are depleted during a practice session. An energy bar with Gatorade is pretty common. I prefer chocolate milk, but that might be difficult to keep cold unless you bring a cooler. A bagel with peanut butter and an energy drink like Gatorade or Powerade also works well.

g. Make sure you eat breakfast before you come to practice.

h. We will run a 2-mile time trial at the first practice.

i. Practices the first week are typically lengthy as we have much to teach you. We may be as late as 10:30 or 10:45.

To be cleared to practice, all registration materials must be completed

OPTIONAL SUMMER RUNS (CAPTAIN'S PRACTICES)

Senior girls will be determining and communicating the location and time of the runs, but plan on meeting @ 8:00 AM @ the Memorial High School track unless you hear otherwise. Work-outs are planned for Monday through Friday each week through the end of July. Memorial cross-country coaches may be present for the first few minutes of these "fun runs", but the runs are predominantly led by juniors and seniors.

These runs are open to all interested student-athletes, not just cross-country runners. Bring a friend if you'd like. Attend when you can, but the more consistent you are, the more beneficial to you. You'll need a watch with a stopwatch function because we ask that you time the duration of each run and keep a log of your minutes and miles.

Bottom line...start running and record what you do!!! You are also encouraged to participate 2 to 3 times per week in the strength program through Momentum Fitness offered at Memorial. You can do this after your run, and you should log that, too!

Use the link under "2016 Schedules" for instructions on establishing an online mileage log account. You will also find a link to summer training information there, also.
