8/7 update

Braves,

Monday is the beginning of Mini Camp. This is the first week that we will track attendance, and it will help determine who letters at the end of the season. I understand that some of you will be out of town, so let me know if that is the case and we can work it out where you will still be able to letter. Plan on minicamp being strenuous, but you will be better for it. On the days we practice twice we will being doing a run in the morning.

The schedule for next week will be as follows: Monday @7:30 & 2:30, Tuesday @7:30, Wednesday @7:30 & 2:30, Thursday @7:30 & 2:30, Friday @ 7:30.

Monday morning is a team picture we will be taking for the football program this fall. I hope most of you can make it for that.

On Wednesday we will be having a “time trial” of sorts. It will be a 4 mile run, but we want you to go out and give it your all. We will be using that in our considerations of who will be on the varsity or jv teams to begin the year. It won’t be the only factor, obviously, because it is only one workout, but it will help make the picture a bit more clear.

Friday you will vote for the team captains this season.

A few of you have not finished register my athlete. Some of you still need to get physicals. At this point it is late and we are hoping the state doesn’t crack down on late registrations. It absolutely has to be done before the first race, or we cannot enter you.

The first race is going to be on Thursday the 18th. That is less than two weeks away. Exciting times are upon us. Honestly we are so excited for the season to get rolling. If you are not going to be in town for that first race, let me know so I don’t enter you and waste that entry money on someone who isn’t going to be here. Some of you have already told me you won’t be around, but please tell me again, by responding to this email, so I can make sure I have it correct.

I have attached here the order form for clothes this season. If you want to order something, please pay in the office. Any checks should be made out to Bountiful High but make sure they know that it is for cross country clothes order. Do not bring me any money because I will just direct you to the office. The items on here are just options for you; you do not have to order anything. You can order none, one, or many items, it is all the same to us. If you do want something bring the order form and the receipt to me by Wednesday after the morning practice. I’m going to submit the order by 10 AM on Wednesday, so have everything in by then.

Everything we have done all summer has been a huge stepping stone for the next month or so of training, all to be ready for this season, particularly region, which is where we have a chance to qualify both teams for state. It is not an easy goal, but one that we can attain if you put in the work. Prepare yourselves to take it up another level. You’re ready.

Enjoy the Olympics this next week in your free time.
