Uniforms
A link to our uniform store from SportsLoft will be open within the next week.
To compete at meets, each athlete must have the official uniform shirt and shorts. If they have a uniform from last season or from track that still fits, they’re welcome to use it this season.
Rules for Runners and Fans
As runners finish each race and enter the queue for collecting tags and awarding medals, do not hand them water bottles or stop them for any reason; wait until they have been moved through the queue.
At the start of each race, the officials will line up runners in assigned spaces, therefore do not “coach” runners to stand elsewhere.
As you cheer our runners, don’t run alongside them. “Pacing” can get a runner or team disqualified.
Summer Cross-Country Information
Summer Cross-Country practices on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7:00-7:45 at St. Paul’s. Practice starts on July 14th and runs until August 25th.
At the end of the season there will a time-trial race for all runners!
