Roswell High School Cross Country

On August 11 we are holding a workshop that is strongly recommended for XC parents. A representative from Big Peach will discuss properties of running shoes, a nutritionist will talk about eating for runners, and coaches will explain about injury prevention and injury protocol for runners. The workshop will last about an hour at 7:00PM in the Aux Gym.

Big Peach Running company is sponsoring a Spike Night/Week for our runners and their families on Monday August 17 – Friday, August 22. See the attachment for all the details. Discounts will apply all week with pizza and gifts on August 17th.

This Thursday, 8/30, practice will be back down at the River.

Next week practice will be:

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday: Sweetapple 7 a.m.
Thursday: River 7 p.m. (please note this is not the morning!)
Friday: Sweetapple 7 a.m.

School starts August 10 and so do after-school practices. Practice is every day, mandatory and ends about 5:45 p.m. All runs start from RHS. If you are going to miss a practice, be sure to tell Coach Evans and make arrangements with him to make it up.

If you have questions, please email me: joanmccarty05@gmail.com This is a new email address.

Over half of our RHS XC team will be attending the summer camp!

We have one last-minute spot available. If there’s a runner out there who is interested in filling this spot, please contact me ASAP. This spot will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Cost is $210

I have uploaded camp forms and information to the website. On the left is a link “2015 Camp Forms”. There are three forms: An itinerary, a gear list, and a waiver. Please print the waiver and complete it.

On the waiver document:
Group Name: RHS XC
Leader Name: David Evans
Activity: River Rafting

Any camper who has not turned in the waiver form to Coach Evans by Thursday’s practice, 7/23, will not be able to raft with the team while at camp.

Bus will leave from RHS on Sunday at noon and will arrive back at RHS Wednesday at 3:00.

Information on the camp can be found at http://greatyouthretreats.com/

In order to make our primary fundraiser, Covered Bridge XC Meet, a success, we need to find sponsors. We need everyone involved with RHS XC needs to help!!

We are asking everyone who has kids on the team (and kids on the team) to please take the attached sponsorship document to possible sponsors.

Anyone can be a sponsor: any business you know or that you frequent; it could even be your employer. Dentists, real estate agents, insurance agents, local retailers. The list goes on.

Benefits of sponsorship are detailed in the document.

All it takes is asking and, really, the worst that can happen is that they would say they weren’t interested. If you believe that some local business may be interested and your are uncomfortable asking, please contact Walt Kenzie (wkenzie@bellsouth.net) or Paul Tardif (ptardif@bellsouth.net)

We really need your help to make this fundraiser (the meet) a success. We don’t ask our kids to sell “hornet” cards, participate in the Tastefest, or sell candles door-to-door.

Thanks in advance for your help on this . If you have questions about sponsorship, please contact Paul or Walt.
