-After a great first week the team will pause for the MHSAA mandated Dead Week. Coaches will not meet/communicate with athletes during this time. More info on Dead Week can be found on the MHSAA website.
-Thank you to everyone that has completed the registration process on Final Forms. All athletes and a parent/guardian must complete the registration. An updated physical (dated after 4-15-24) also must be uploaded to Final Forms prior to official practices starting in August.
-All new BXC athletes will need a pair of team shorts. This Google Form was shared with athletes interested in ordering shorts.
-We'll have a busy week after the 4th. Our Kensington Camp, the second single track trail, and our Huron Meadows volunteering are the week following Dead Week.
-Kensington Camp consists of some running followed by lots of Nuke'Em and Ultimate. The camp is an awesome event and is strongly encouraged for everyone considering running cross country this fall.
-The Milford Trail is a technical 5ish mile mountain bike trail near downtown Milford. These single track trail runs are tough and are ideal for more fit and/or more experienced athletes.
-Volunteering at Huron Meadows is an excellent opportunity to give back to the park that has hosted our home meets for the previous several years. We will likely be removing invasive plant species.
-Our July Time Trial is around the corner. This is the first opportunity for runners to qualify for our Team Camp at UAW Black Lake. The top 25 athletes based on time between the July Time Trial and our Camp Time Trial will receive invites to camp. There are 23 athletes returning from last year's time trail that ran faster than the camp qualifying time standard.
-We hope everyone enjoys their 4th of July!
