General Cross-Country info

 
All paperwork has to be turned in to the EBHS Athletic Office BEFORE Aug 1   


While it is expected that team members will practice on their own throughout 
the summer, mandatory team practice will begin on Thurs August 21st.  

During the summer we will have a number of optional team runs in order to 
help our athletes gain the fitness they need to make the team.  These dates 
will be posted on the Calendar page as the coaches' availability becomes 
definite.

The team is NOT a "walk-on team".  In order to make the team, our athletes 
must run faster than a specific time for the 3.1 mile distance at the team 
time trial in August.  

The fall 2008 standards are...

sub 25:00 for frosh
sub 23:00 for sophs
sub 21:00 for jrs
sub 20:00 for srs **

** Please note the new standard for seniors.

If you are serious about making the team, you will run (on your own or with 
others) every day.

During the season we will have practices/races Mon-Sat.  9th graders will get 
the activity bus to EBHS, change at their locker, and come out for practice 
or to the bus to the race.  The bus will take us from and to EBHS.

Our race schedule will be posted on the Calendar page.  Dual meets will be on 
Tuesdays.  Major invitationals and championships will be held on Saturdays.  
The GMC championships will be held on Saturday Nov 1st.  ALL ATHLETES are 
expected to be available for that race.
