Coaches will be in attendance. Parents will have to register for and transport to/from the meet (or a few savvy parents with a knack for coordinating).  If you/your child are interested please fill out this google form

We have opened up a team store for y'all to get some Cross Country Gear to represent around town and around the middle school! Team Store Link
