Final Week (For Most) - DQ Run! Permission Slips Needed

Hi Everyone,

**We have our Annual DQ run on Friday.  Everyone needs their permission slip signed and turned in to attend.** Permission Slip

We had a fantastic wrap to our dual meet season yesterday versus Lincoln.  Both girls and boys came away with team victories, and there were plenty of season's best races to be seen.  Some fun stats: 84% of the team ran better yesterday than their average mile pace on the season; On average, the team ran 20 seconds faster per mile than their season averages.  This really goes to show how hard everyone's been working this season and how it has paid off.  As always, full results from the season can be found here.

Tomorrow, Thursday 10/26, We will have practice only for those who plan to attend the State Meet on 11/4. We will be deciding who is in which race, and after this practice we will send out more complete information on how the meet and registration work.  Everyone else please use the day to prepare yourselves for the Annual DQ Run.  

Friday 10/2 - We have our Annual DQ run!  The Athletic department hasn't decided to sponsor the event yet, so please send your child with money for ice cream!   Everyone needs their permission slip signed and turned in to attend.  We truly do not want to have to ask anyone to remain at WMS, but we will if we must.

Additionally,try to keep a tab on the website.  We plan to post some off season workouts/training plans to try to help you all out in preparation for both the outdoor season and the next XC Season.

Thank you all for making this such a fun and successful season.
