Each Athlete needs to give Coach Greg this clearance slip (NOT THE ENTIRE ATHLETIC PACKET) before they can practice or compete! -If you don't have your Athletic Packet complete during orientation, you might be able to catch the A/Ds (Jerry Deakins or Mike Mastin) in the office at MCHS, to complete this process.
-IMPORTANT: If you plan on donating to the Cross Country team to cover travel expenses (this is not mandatory to make the team), don't turn in a donation check with your Athletic Packet during orientation, but complete this form LINK and donation and give to Coach Greg during practice.

MONDAY, 8/15/16: FIRST DAY OF PRACTICE! -Reminder: You must have your Clearance Form to practice! MCHS XC Practice starts 3:00, the rest of the week (Tue-Fri), practice starts 3:30
WEDNESDAY, 8/17/16: FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL! ...Yes, we will have two practice sessions before school starts!
THURSDAY, 8/18/16 or Fri, 8/19/16: IMPORTANT One of these dates will be our first Fitness Standard test! -First 85 to make the standard, make the MCHS XC roster! -What is the standard? ...3200m (8 laps around the track) standard for Boys: 14:00 (7:00/mile pace) and for Girls: 16:30 (8:15/mile pace). -If we don't get 85 in our first day, we'll have 3-5 more time trials opportunities through September 16th if needed. FYI: -Last year we started the MCHS XC season with 98 on our roster and finished the season with 89, without making any "cuts". -However, this year due to limited coaching bandwidth and to ensure the safety of everyone on the roster, we're limiting our roster to 85. Note: MCHS is lucky to have a lot of interest for XC; most other high school teams have 35-40 on their roster, so at 85, we'll still have one of the largest, if not the largest XC rosters in the area...
EVERYONE: Keep logging your miles in www.xcstats.com! ...If you're not sure how to sign-up, follow these instructions LINK
-IMPORTANT: Starting this season, it will be mandatory for EVERYONE ON THE MCHS XC ROSTER to log-in their miles in XCStats throughout the season!
...Run! ...Even if you're on Vacation... ...Run!
GO PUMAS!!!
