SMS Cross Country Tryouts

The Cross-Country team will hold a tryout on August 1st at 7am. Athletes should meet behind the school near the football field. The tryout will last approximately 30-40 minutes, and parents are free to stick around. To prepare for the tryout, athletes should start working on their running stamina. Our races during the season are two miles, and we will be running more than that during practices. If you are a first-time runner, work on continually moving for 20-25 minutes without stopping. We will build up your stamina as start practicing. We will begin practicing the first week of school. Practices will run from 3-4:30pm Monday through Thursday. Meets are generally on Wednesdays, and I will share our schedule soon! Parents, please make sure you and your athlete completed all documents in FinalForms. This includes a current sports physical, forms for parents to sign, and forms for the athlete to sign. Without completed documents, your athlete cannot compete.
