-Ultimate Monday and Capture the Flag Friday did not disappoint! This time together outside of a typical practice/workout setting is huge for developing relationships that last well beyond high school. Week 6 photos

-The fall parent meeting was Tuesday evening. Hopefully we were able to clarify what the expectations are for this season and answer all your questions. Parent Meeting Packet

-Our meet schedule on athletic.net has been updated to display the bus departure and our race times. Click on the meet name to expand the window. Please note, some meets have not yet shared their finalized schedule so no race time is listed yet. Also, if a departure time is not listed we won't be taking a bus.

-Runners attending Team Camp will meet at the back parking lot between the baseball field and tennis courts at 8:30 Monday morning. They should be dressed ready to run. Everyone attending camp must have all their Final Forms registrations completed and permission/consent forms turned in prior to departing for camp. We expect to return around 3:45 Friday.

-Athletes not attending camp received their workouts in this week's athlete update and are highly encouraged to continue meeting up with their teammates and continue training.

-The first official practice is 3 p.m. at Huron Meadows, August 17th. A current physical (dated after April 15th, 2025) must be uploaded and both the parent and athlete registrations must be complete on Final Forms to practice with the team. In addition, the team fee though Zeffy must be submitted must be submitted prior to competing on the 21st.

-Athletes new to the program will need to purchase their uniform bottom. The Nike 10K Running Short and Nike Dri-FIT Half Tight are both available in our BSN Spirit Wear Shop. We have a limited number of the Nike 10K Running Short available for purchase for $21 through Zeffy.

-The SMS XC course is in need of some trail maintenance to get ready for the upcoming season. We'll need volunteer athletes to help out the morning of Tuesday, the 18th at 10 a.m. Volunteers should bring gloves, hand trimmers/loppers, and water. We expect to be wrapping up around 11:30.

-Team Pictures are Thursday, August 20st at BHS. The team will meet for practice at 2:30 to be ready for pictures at 3:45. Preorders are available through the VSN website.

-Our first meet of the season is our dual with Pinckney next Friday at Pinckney High School. The race starts at 10 a.m. Athletes should plan to arrive at 8:30. Remaining uniforms will be passed out at practice on Tuesday/Wednesday prior to the meet. PHS XC Course Map

-Labor Day weekend we will have optional practices on Friday, September 4th and Monday, September 7th. We tell the kids that optional means, "If you are in town, get your butt to practice."
