Sunset Ridge Cross Country (XC) - General Information

 

Cross Country season starts on Wednesday, August 28. All 6th-8th grade students can join. 

 

In case of inclement weather, the calendar will be updated by 1:30 P.M and a Parent Square will be sent.

 

Practices: Generally, practices are from 3:30 - 4:45 pm at Sunset Ridge School. Please check the paper calendar and Google calendar for specific dates and times.

The full practice schedule Google Calendar link will be shared when the team is finalized. Please use the hard copy calendar until then.

  • Please dress for the weather. We will run outside most days unless it is raining/snowing or too cold. Students should wear properly fitting running shoes. Wearing layers is a good idea: shorts, leggings/athletic pants, a T-shirt, and a sweatshirt or fleece.
  • PLEASE plan to pick students up promptly at 4:45 pm. Students cannot be left unsupervised after practice, so we ask that you arrange transportation accordingly.

 

Cross Country Meets: 

  • The full meet schedule Google Calendar link will be shared when the team is finalized. Please use the hard copy calendar until then.
  • Meets will begin at about 4:00 pm, and we anticipate returning at Sunset Ridge around 5:30 pm. Students and coaches will travel to and from meets on a bus. 
  • If you prefer, you may pick up your child from the meet, but you must pick up your child before the bus returns to school. No student will be left at a meet without the team. 

 

Physicals: Students participating must have a current physical on file with our school nurse, Mrs. Balici. 

  • Physical Forms are good for one year from the date of issue. 
  • Students may not practice with the team without a physical.

 

We are aware that many children are actively participating in more than one program, and/or have other commitments such as doctor appointments, religious obligations, etc., and need to leave early from practice and/or track meets. Our policy on taking your child home during a practice/meet is to sign your child out from our attendance sheet. If your child is getting a ride from another family, we need to have verbal or written permission from the parent of the child in need of the ride.

Go Eagles!!!
