-Our athletes' off-season attendance through December was very strong. The investments in the program and in their teammates over these winter months will lead to great outcomes on and off the course. All athletes not competing in a winter sport or training for their spring sport are highly encouraged to attend.
-We had nearly 40 athletes and alumni at Ultimate New Year! This time together is one of the highlights of the indoor season.
-The Michigan Indoor Track Series (MITS) meets are an excellent opportunity for runners to test their fitness and compete. The meet schedule, meet info, results, and State Meet qualification standards are available through the MITS track website.
-Unfortunately our planned 'micro meets' are cancelled.
-Tentative 2026 Summer Calendar- This calendar will likely see a couple of revisions. Please note the current Team Camp date has not been confirmed yet, we expect to have the date set in the next week or so.
-If you have flexibility with your summer travel plans, the Summer Dead Week (June 28th-July 4th) and Preseason Downtime (August 1st-9th) are ideal vacation times from a biased XC coach's perspective.
-Good luck to all our BXC athletes competing in winter sports!
