-The BHS T&F program will be well represented at the MHSAA D1 State Championships! Multiple relays and several individuals will be competing this Saturday at East Kentwood High School. Our athletes willingness to put in the work during the off-season is the driving factor in our program's success.
-We have a couple of important dates/meetings for 2025 BXC coming up.
-On Tuesday, June 3rd representatives of BXC will be visiting SMS during lunches to touch base with incoming freshmen interested in running cross this fall.
-On Wednesday, June 4th at 6 p.m. in the BHS Steam Center there is a New/Summer Parent Meeting (returning parents are always welcome to attend). We'll discuss opportunities available to athletes, expectations of the program, and answer any questions.
-On Thursday, June 5th at 2:30 after school in room D32/34 there will be an informational meeting for all BHS students interested in joining BXC this fall.
-Runners that have completed or will be completing their spring season are encouraged to take a two week break from training. This time off will help the body/mind rejuvinate and enter the next training block ready to go.
-Friendly reminder to schedule a physical for the fall. Every athlete competing in an MHSAA sport during the 25/26 school year must have a physical completed on/after April 15th 2025. Once completed, the physical form must be uploaded to Final Forms.
-Once the 2025 school year ends in June, families/athletes will need to sign up on Final Forms to join the BHS Cross Country team for the fall XC season.
-Our Middle School XC Camp is scheduled for July 21st-24th at BHS. Registration will be completed using GoFan.
-Good luck to our BXC athletes wrapping up their spring season!
