...I know there are quite a few Parents where the NCS and State Championships post-season is a totally new experience, so please do not hesitate to contact Coach Greg (greg.fogg@comcast.net or Cell: 707-291-2967) if you have any questions about any of this activity! -Our goal is to continue working out during this time frame, but to be reasonably flexible and accommodate everyone's Holiday plans. -Please make sure to contact Coach Greg if you are going to miss any practice sessions! ...OK to do some workouts on your own if you have Holiday plans, but still need to contact Greg!
Notes:
1) MCHS XC travel extends to the top 7 Varsity + the next 3 alternates (no JV)
2) Only the top 3 teams in the NCS Championships will qualify for the State Championships in Fresno; both our teams are ranked 1st going into the NCS Championships, so we feel good about our chances and planning for both teams going to Fresno!
