Cross Country
Cross Country
Summer Running (7/25 - 8/11)
- We will be having a handful of team runs over the next three weeks before we begin practice. I am thinking about the following dates for these runs:
7/25, 7/27, 7/31, 8/2, 8/4, 8/7, 8/9, 8/11
- We can meet at 8:00am at Wilson and just go for a short run as a team. This is for whoever is available, of course. I understand that there are those with other commitments during the summer and that's OK. Come and run with us if you'd like. Parents are welcome to join and run as well.
- If we meet anywhere other than Wilson for any of these runs (perhaps a local park, bike path, etc), I will let you all know in advance.
Practice for the first week (8/15 - 8/18)
- We will begin our official practices on Tuesday, August 15th, 2023. Like last year, we'll begin these practices at 8:00am and will go until 9:15am. Please be there promptly to pick up your child when practice is done. Kids should bring water bottles to have during practice. Practice this week will run from Tuesday - Friday.
Practice for first week of school (8/21 - 8/25)
- Monday - Tuesday - Practice like the past week starting at 8:00am. Please be there promptly to pick up your child when practice is done. Kids should bring water bottles to have during practice. The WEB leaders have training on both of those days so they'll be excused from practicing for cross country.
- Wednesday - The WEB orientation for new 6th graders will be going on from 8am-12pm. Cross country will NOT have practice that morning. The Sterling Grass Relays will take place that afternoon beginning at 4:15pm. There will be a bus leaving from Wilson at 2:00pm to head to Sterling. The address for Woodlawn-Hoover Park is 3807 Woodlawn Rd. Sterling, IL 61081. Only those athletes who have current athletic physicals on file will be allowed to travel to the meet. The bus will bring athletes back to Wilson afterward. If you'd like to take your child home with you from the meet, that is encouraged.
- Thursday - NO PRACTICE (staff's first day in Moline)
- Friday - This will begin our first practice after school until 5:00pm. Following practice, we will have a parent informational meeting in the cafeteria beginning at roughly 5:15pm. It shouldn't last more than 30-45 minutes. Lots of important information and paperwork to be handed out that evening.
Don't forget to sign up for Remind as well. New season, new Remind group. Please click this link: https://www.remind.com/join/
VERY IMPORTANT: Mr. Olson, our athletic director, has been working hard to double-check the roster to see who has a current athletic physical and $10.00 activity fee on file. Your child will not be able to continue practicing once the season officially starts without a current athletic physical on file. Please contact Coach Brems or myself if you have any questions about this.
That's it for now!! Please contact us if you have any questions. Thanks everyone!
Coach Perkins and Coach Brems
